Materials Data on Y3Bi by Materials Project
Y3Bi is Uranium Silicide structured and crystallizes in the cubic Pm-3m space group. The structure is three-dimensional. Y is bonded to eight equivalent Y and four equivalent Bi atoms to form distorted YY8Bi4 cuboctahedra that share corners with twelve equivalent YY8Bi4 cuboctahedra, edges with eight equivalent BiY12 cuboctahedra, edges with sixteen equivalent YY8Bi4 cuboctahedra, faces with four equivalent BiY12 cuboctahedra, and faces with fourteen equivalent YY8Bi4 cuboctahedra. All Y–Y bond lengths are 3.46 Å. All Y–Bi bond lengths are 3.46 Å. Bi is bonded to twelve equivalent Y atoms to form BiY12 cuboctahedra that share corners with twelve equivalent BiY12 cuboctahedra, edges with twenty-four equivalent YY8Bi4 cuboctahedra, faces with six equivalent BiY12 cuboctahedra, and faces with twelve equivalent YY8Bi4 cuboctahedra.
