Materials Data on Yb2InAu2 by Materials Project
Yb2Au2In crystallizes in the tetragonal P4/mbm space group. The structure is three-dimensional. Yb is bonded in a 6-coordinate geometry to six equivalent Au and four equivalent In atoms. There are two shorter (2.94 Å) and four longer (3.05 Å) Yb–Au bond lengths. All Yb–In bond lengths are 3.53 Å. Au is bonded in a 8-coordinate geometry to six equivalent Yb and two equivalent In atoms. Both Au–In bond lengths are 3.15 Å. In is bonded to eight equivalent Yb and four equivalent Au atoms to form a mixture of distorted corner and face-sharing InYb8Au4 cuboctahedra.
