Materials Data on LiY3 by Materials Project

LiY3 is alpha bismuth trifluoride structured and crystallizes in the cubic Fm-3m space group. The structure is three-dimensional. Li is bonded in a body-centered cubic geometry to eight equivalent Y atoms. All Li–Y bond lengths are 3.38 Å. There are two inequivalent Y sites. In the first Y site, Y is bonded in a distorted body-centered cubic geometry to four equivalent Li and four equivalent Y atoms. All Y–Y bond lengths are 3.38 Å. In the second Y site, Y is bonded in a distorted body-centered cubic geometry to eight equivalent Y atoms.
