Materials Data on Yb(GeRh)2 by Materials Project
Yb(RhGe)2 crystallizes in the tetragonal I4/mmm space group. The structure is three-dimensional. Yb is bonded in a 8-coordinate geometry to eight equivalent Rh and eight equivalent Ge atoms. All Yb–Rh bond lengths are 3.33 Å. All Yb–Ge bond lengths are 3.22 Å. Rh is bonded to four equivalent Yb and four equivalent Ge atoms to form a mixture of distorted edge, face, and corner-sharing RhYb4Ge4 tetrahedra. All Rh–Ge bond lengths are 2.46 Å. Ge is bonded in a 9-coordinate geometry to four equivalent Yb, four equivalent Rh, and one Ge atom. The Ge–Ge bond length is 2.59 Å.
