CuRhO2 crystallizes in the trigonal R-3m space group. Rh(1) is bonded to six equivalent O(1) atoms to form edge-sharing RhO6 octahedra. Cu(1) is bonded in a linear geometry to two equivalent O(1) atoms. O(1) is bonded to three equivalent Rh(1) and one Cu(1) atom to form a mixture of distorted edge and corner-sharing OCuRh3 tetrahedra.
CuRhO2 crystallizes in the trigonal R-3m space group. Rh(1) is bonded to six equivalent O(1) atoms to form edge-sharing RhO6 octahedra. All Rh(1)-O(1) bond lengths are 2.05 Å. Cu(1) is bonded in a linear geometry to two equivalent O(1) atoms. Both Cu(1)-O(1) bond lengths are 1.83 Å. O(1) is bonded to three equivalent Rh(1) and one Cu(1) atom to form a mixture of distorted edge and corner-sharing OCuRh3 tetrahedra.
