Materials Data on Zr3Ir by Materials Project
Zr3Ir crystallizes in the tetragonal I-42m space group. The structure is three-dimensional. there are three inequivalent Zr sites. In the first Zr site, Zr is bonded in a water-like geometry to two equivalent Ir atoms. Both Zr–Ir bond lengths are 2.80 Å. In the second Zr site, Zr is bonded in a distorted water-like geometry to two equivalent Ir atoms. Both Zr–Ir bond lengths are 2.80 Å. In the third Zr site, Zr is bonded in a 4-coordinate geometry to four equivalent Ir atoms. There are two shorter (2.75 Å) and two longer (2.94 Å) Zr–Ir bond lengths. Ir is bonded in a 8-coordinate geometry to eight Zr atoms.
