Materials Data on Yb3Os by Materials Project
Yb3Os is alpha bismuth trifluoride structured and crystallizes in the cubic Fm-3m space group. The structure is three-dimensional. there are two inequivalent Yb sites. In the first Yb site, Yb is bonded to four equivalent Yb and four equivalent Os atoms to form a mixture of distorted corner, edge, and face-sharing YbYb4Os4 tetrahedra. All Yb–Yb bond lengths are 3.10 Å. All Yb–Os bond lengths are 3.10 Å. In the second Yb site, Yb is bonded in a 8-coordinate geometry to eight equivalent Yb and six equivalent Os atoms. All Yb–Os bond lengths are 3.58 Å. Os is bonded in a distorted body-centered cubic geometry to fourteen Yb atoms.
