Materials Data on Ce(SiAu2)2 by Materials Project
CeAu4Si2 crystallizes in the tetragonal P-4m2 space group. The structure is two-dimensional and consists of four CeAu4Si2 sheets oriented in the (0, 0, 1) direction. Ce4+ is bonded to eight Au1- atoms to form distorted edge-sharing CeAu8 hexagonal bipyramids. There are a spread of Ce–Au bond distances ranging from 3.21–3.27 Å. There are four inequivalent Au1- sites. In the first Au1- site, Au1- is bonded in a distorted bent 120 degrees geometry to two equivalent Ce4+ and two equivalent Si atoms. Both Au–Si bond lengths are 2.48 Å. In the second Au1- site, Au1- is bonded in a distorted bent 120 degrees geometry to two equivalent Ce4+ and two equivalent Si atoms. Both Au–Si bond lengths are 2.51 Å. In the third Au1- site, Au1- is bonded in a distorted bent 120 degrees geometry to two equivalent Ce4+ and two equivalent Si atoms. Both Au–Si bond lengths are 2.49 Å. In the fourth Au1- site, Au1- is bonded in a distorted bent 120 degrees geometry to two equivalent Ce4+ and two equivalent Si atoms. Both Au–Si bond lengths are 2.52 Å. There are two inequivalent Si sites. In the first Si site, Si is bonded in a 5-coordinate geometry to four Au1- and one Si atom. The Si–Si bond length is 2.32 Å. In the second Si site, Si is bonded in a 5-coordinate geometry to four Au1- and one Si atom.
