Materials Data on Ce(CrB3)2 by Materials Project
CeCr2B6 crystallizes in the orthorhombic Immm space group. The structure is three-dimensional. Ce3+ is bonded in a 12-coordinate geometry to sixteen B2- atoms. There are a spread of Ce–B bond distances ranging from 2.80–2.97 Å. Cr+4.50+ is bonded in a 10-coordinate geometry to ten B2- atoms. There are two shorter (2.12 Å) and eight longer (2.21 Å) Cr–B bond lengths. There are two inequivalent B2- sites. In the first B2- site, B2- is bonded in a 9-coordinate geometry to two equivalent Ce3+, four equivalent Cr+4.50+, and three B2- atoms. There is two shorter (1.75 Å) and one longer (1.86 Å) B–B bond length. In the second B2- site, B2- is bonded in a 6-coordinate geometry to three equivalent Ce3+, three equivalent Cr+4.50+, and three B2- atoms. Both B–B bond lengths are 1.78 Å.
