Materials Data on Sr(As2Rh3)2 by Materials Project

Sr(Rh3As2)2 crystallizes in the hexagonal P-6m2 space group. The structure is three-dimensional. Sr is bonded to six equivalent Rh and six equivalent As atoms to form face-sharing SrAs6Rh6 cuboctahedra. All Sr–Rh bond lengths are 3.21 Å. All Sr–As bond lengths are 3.10 Å. There are two inequivalent Rh sites. In the first Rh site, Rh is bonded in a 6-coordinate geometry to two equivalent Sr and four As atoms. There are two shorter (2.49 Å) and two longer (2.56 Å) Rh–As bond lengths. In the second Rh site, Rh is bonded in a 5-coordinate geometry to five As atoms. There are one shorter (2.55 Å) and four longer (2.60 Å) Rh–As bond lengths. There are two inequivalent As sites. In the first As site, As is bonded in a 8-coordinate geometry to two equivalent Sr and six Rh atoms. In the second As site, As is bonded in a 9-coordinate geometry to nine Rh atoms.
