Li3Re is Uranium Silicide-like structured and crystallizes in the hexagonal P6_3/mmc space group. Li(1) is bonded in a distorted see-saw-like geometry to four equivalent Re(1) atoms. Re(1) is bonded to twelve equivalent Li(1) atoms to form a mixture of face and corner-sharing ReLi12 cuboctahedra.
Li3Re is Uranium Silicide-like structured and crystallizes in the hexagonal P6_3/mmc space group. Li(1) is bonded in a distorted see-saw-like geometry to four equivalent Re(1) atoms. There are two shorter (2.71 Å) and two longer (2.73 Å) Li(1)-Re(1) bond lengths. Re(1) is bonded to twelve equivalent Li(1) atoms to form a mixture of face and corner-sharing ReLi12 cuboctahedra.
