Materials Data on Yb2Ge2Ir by Materials Project
Yb2IrGe2 crystallizes in the monoclinic C2/m space group. The structure is three-dimensional. there are two inequivalent Yb sites. In the first Yb site, Yb is bonded in a 6-coordinate geometry to two equivalent Ir and six Ge atoms. Both Yb–Ir bond lengths are 3.29 Å. There are a spread of Yb–Ge bond distances ranging from 2.95–3.29 Å. In the second Yb site, Yb is bonded in a 2-coordinate geometry to four equivalent Ir and seven Ge atoms. There are a spread of Yb–Ir bond distances ranging from 3.14–3.22 Å. There are a spread of Yb–Ge bond distances ranging from 2.99–3.47 Å. Ir is bonded in a 10-coordinate geometry to six Yb and four Ge atoms. There are a spread of Ir–Ge bond distances ranging from 2.48–2.59 Å. There are two inequivalent Ge sites. In the first Ge site, Ge is bonded in a 9-coordinate geometry to seven Yb, one Ir, and one Ge atom. The Ge–Ge bond length is 2.61 Å. In the second Ge site, Ge is bonded in a 10-coordinate geometry to six Yb, three equivalent Ir, and one Ge atom. The Ge–Ge bond length is 2.83 Å.
