Materials Data on Y3In5 by Materials Project

Y3In5 crystallizes in the orthorhombic Pnma space group. The structure is three-dimensional. there are two inequivalent Y sites. In the first Y site, Y is bonded in a 9-coordinate geometry to nine In atoms. There are a spread of Y–In bond distances ranging from 3.21–3.69 Å. In the second Y site, Y is bonded in a 10-coordinate geometry to ten In atoms. There are a spread of Y–In bond distances ranging from 3.30–3.69 Å. There are four inequivalent In sites. In the first In site, In is bonded in a 3-coordinate geometry to six Y and two equivalent In atoms. Both In–In bond lengths are 3.11 Å. In the second In site, In is bonded in a 5-coordinate geometry to five Y and three In atoms. There are one shorter (3.27 Å) and two longer (3.35 Å) In–In bond lengths. In the third In site, In is bonded in a 9-coordinate geometry to six Y and three In atoms. Both In–In bond lengths are 3.18 Å. In the fourth In site, In is bonded in a 10-coordinate geometry to six Y and four In atoms. The In–In bond length is 3.14 Å.
