EuF3 crystallizes in the orthorhombic Pnma space group. Eu(1) is bonded in a 9-coordinate geometry to three equivalent F(2) and six equivalent F(1) atoms. There are two inequivalent F sites. In the first F site, F(2) is bonded in a trigonal planar geometry to three equivalent Eu(1) atoms. In the second F site, F(1) is bonded in a distorted trigonal planar geometry to three equivalent Eu(1) atoms.
EuF3 crystallizes in the orthorhombic Pnma space group. Eu(1) is bonded in a 9-coordinate geometry to three equivalent F(2) and six equivalent F(1) atoms. There are a spread of Eu(1)-F(2) bond distances ranging from 2.35-2.44 Å. There are two shorter (2.30 Å) and four longer (2.41 Å) Eu(1)-F(1) bond lengths. There are two inequivalent F sites. In the first F site, F(2) is bonded in a trigonal planar geometry to three equivalent Eu(1) atoms. In the second F site, F(1) is bonded in a distorted trigonal planar geometry to three equivalent Eu(1) atoms.
