Materials Data on Y7Rh3 by Materials Project
Y7Rh3 crystallizes in the hexagonal P6_3mc space group. The structure is three-dimensional. there are three inequivalent Y sites. In the first Y site, Y is bonded in a 3-coordinate geometry to three equivalent Rh atoms. All Y–Rh bond lengths are 2.81 Å. In the second Y site, Y is bonded in a distorted L-shaped geometry to two equivalent Rh atoms. Both Y–Rh bond lengths are 2.84 Å. In the third Y site, Y is bonded in a 3-coordinate geometry to three equivalent Rh atoms. There are one shorter (2.87 Å) and two longer (2.88 Å) Y–Rh bond lengths. Rh is bonded in a 6-coordinate geometry to six Y atoms.
