Title: Materials Data on Np(SiIr)2 by Materials Project

Abstract

Np(IrSi)2 crystallizes in the tetragonal P4/nmm space group. The structure is three-dimensional. Np is bonded in a 4-coordinate geometry to eight Ir and eight Si atoms. There are four shorter (3.13 Å) and four longer (3.29 Å) Np–Ir bond lengths. There are four shorter (3.16 Å) and four longer (3.18 Å) Np–Si bond lengths. There are two inequivalent Ir sites. In the first Ir site, Ir is bonded to four equivalent Np and four equivalent Si atoms to form distorted IrNp4Si4 tetrahedra that share corners with twelve equivalent SiNp4Ir4 tetrahedra, edges with two equivalent SiNp4Ir4 tetrahedra, edges with four equivalent IrNp4Si4 tetrahedra, and faces with four equivalent IrNp4Si4 tetrahedra. All Ir–Si bond lengths are 2.44 Å. In the second Ir site, Ir is bonded in a 9-coordinate geometry to four equivalent Np and five Si atoms. There are one shorter (2.38 Å) and four longer (2.43 Å) Ir–Si bond lengths. There are two inequivalent Si sites. In the first Si site, Si is bonded to four equivalent Np and four equivalent Ir atoms to form distorted SiNp4Ir4 tetrahedra that share corners with twelve equivalent IrNp4Si4 tetrahedra, edges with two equivalent IrNp4Si4 tetrahedra, edges with four equivalent SiNp4Ir4 tetrahedra, and facesmore » with four equivalent SiNp4Ir4 tetrahedra.
