Y3Bi is Uranium Silicide-like structured and crystallizes in the hexagonal P6_3/mmc space group. Y(1) is bonded in a distorted see-saw-like geometry to four equivalent Bi(1) atoms. Bi(1) is bonded to twelve equivalent Y(1) atoms to form a mixture of corner and face-sharing BiY12 cuboctahedra.
Y3Bi is Uranium Silicide-like structured and crystallizes in the hexagonal P6_3/mmc space group. Y(1) is bonded in a distorted see-saw-like geometry to four equivalent Bi(1) atoms. There are two shorter (3.45 Å) and two longer (3.50 Å) Y(1)-Bi(1) bond lengths. Bi(1) is bonded to twelve equivalent Y(1) atoms to form a mixture of corner and face-sharing BiY12 cuboctahedra.
