Materials Data on YGeIr by Materials Project
YIrGe crystallizes in the orthorhombic Pnma space group. The structure is three-dimensional. Y is bonded in a 11-coordinate geometry to six equivalent Ir and five equivalent Ge atoms. There are a spread of Y–Ir bond distances ranging from 3.05–3.29 Å. There are two shorter (2.97 Å) and three longer (3.04 Å) Y–Ge bond lengths. Ir is bonded in a 10-coordinate geometry to six equivalent Y and four equivalent Ge atoms. There are three shorter (2.56 Å) and one longer (2.65 Å) Ir–Ge bond lengths. Ge is bonded in a 9-coordinate geometry to five equivalent Y and four equivalent Ir atoms.
