Title: Materials Data on Ho3Cu11Si4 by Materials Project

Abstract

Ho3Cu11Si4 crystallizes in the hexagonal P6_3/mmc space group. The structure is three-dimensional. Ho is bonded in a 11-coordinate geometry to ten Cu and five Si atoms. There are a spread of Ho–Cu bond distances ranging from 2.93–3.01 Å. There are one shorter (2.88 Å) and four longer (3.10 Å) Ho–Si bond lengths. There are three inequivalent Cu sites. In the first Cu site, Cu is bonded in a 12-coordinate geometry to three equivalent Ho, six Cu, and three Si atoms. There are a spread of Cu–Cu bond distances ranging from 2.68–2.74 Å. There are one shorter (2.60 Å) and two longer (2.66 Å) Cu–Si bond lengths. In the second Cu site, Cu is bonded to two equivalent Ho, eight Cu, and two equivalent Si atoms to form distorted CuHo2Cu8Si2 cuboctahedra that share corners with four equivalent CuHo2Cu8Si2 cuboctahedra, corners with four equivalent SiHo4Cu8 cuboctahedra, faces with two equivalent CuHo2Cu8Si2 cuboctahedra, and faces with six equivalent SiHo4Cu8 cuboctahedra. There are two shorter (2.56 Å) and two longer (2.57 Å) Cu–Cu bond lengths. Both Cu–Si bond lengths are 2.35 Å. In the third Cu site, Cu is bonded in a 12-coordinate geometry to three equivalent Ho, six Cu, and three equivalent Simore » atoms. All Cu–Si bond lengths are 2.43 Å. There are two inequivalent Si sites. In the first Si site, Si is bonded in a 9-coordinate geometry to three equivalent Ho and six equivalent Cu atoms. In the second Si site, Si is bonded to four equivalent Ho and eight Cu atoms to form SiHo4Cu8 cuboctahedra that share corners with four equivalent CuHo2Cu8Si2 cuboctahedra, corners with four equivalent SiHo4Cu8 cuboctahedra, faces with six equivalent CuHo2Cu8Si2 cuboctahedra, and faces with six equivalent SiHo4Cu8 cuboctahedra.« less
