Li3Eu crystallizes in the hexagonal P6_3/mmc space group. Li(1) is bonded in a 10-coordinate geometry to six equivalent Li(1) and four equivalent Eu(1) atoms. Eu(1) is bonded to twelve equivalent Li(1) atoms to form a mixture of corner and face-sharing EuLi12 cuboctahedra.
Li3Eu crystallizes in the hexagonal P6_3/mmc space group. Li(1) is bonded in a 10-coordinate geometry to six equivalent Li(1) and four equivalent Eu(1) atoms. There are two shorter (3.02 Å) and four longer (3.21 Å) Li(1)-Li(1) bond lengths. There are two shorter (3.47 Å) and two longer (3.52 Å) Li(1)-Eu(1) bond lengths. Eu(1) is bonded to twelve equivalent Li(1) atoms to form a mixture of corner and face-sharing EuLi12 cuboctahedra.
