Y(IrB)2 is alpha Pu-derived structured and crystallizes in the orthorhombic Fddd space group. Y(1) is bonded in a 18-coordinate geometry to eight equivalent Ir(1) and ten equivalent B(1) atoms. Ir(1) is bonded in a 4-coordinate geometry to four equivalent Y(1) and four equivalent B(1) atoms. B(1) is bonded in a 4-coordinate geometry to five equivalent Y(1) and four equivalent Ir(1) atoms.
Y(IrB)2 is alpha Pu-derived structured and crystallizes in the orthorhombic Fddd space group. Y(1) is bonded in a 18-coordinate geometry to eight equivalent Ir(1) and ten equivalent B(1) atoms. There are four shorter (3.05 Å) and four longer (3.19 Å) Y(1)-Ir(1) bond lengths. There are a spread of Y(1)-B(1) bond distances ranging from 2.99-3.32 Å. Ir(1) is bonded in a 4-coordinate geometry to four equivalent Y(1) and four equivalent B(1) atoms. There are two shorter (2.07 Å) and two longer (2.18 Å) Ir(1)-B(1) bond lengths. B(1) is bonded in a 4-coordinate geometry to five equivalent Y(1) and four equivalent Ir(1) atoms.
