Fe(1) is bonded in a 9-coordinate geometry to six equivalent Gd(1) and three equivalent Fe(1) atoms. I(1) is bonded in a 6-coordinate geometry to six equivalent Gd(1) atoms.
Gd2IFe2 crystallizes in the hexagonal P6_3/mmc space group. Gd(1) is bonded in a 9-coordinate geometry to six equivalent Fe(1) and three equivalent I(1) atoms. There are three shorter (2.88 Å) and three longer (3.00 Å) Gd(1)-Fe(1) bond lengths. All Gd(1)-I(1) bond lengths are 3.40 Å. Fe(1) is bonded in a 9-coordinate geometry to six equivalent Gd(1) and three equivalent Fe(1) atoms. All Fe(1)-Fe(1) bond lengths are 2.30 Å. I(1) is bonded in a 6-coordinate geometry to six equivalent Gd(1) atoms.
