Title: Materials Data on Ga2HgO4 by Materials Project

Abstract

HgGa2O4 crystallizes in the orthorhombic Pnma space group. The structure is three-dimensional. Hg2+ is bonded in a 8-coordinate geometry to eight O2- atoms. There are a spread of Hg–O bond distances ranging from 2.44–2.66 Å. There are two inequivalent Ga3+ sites. In the first Ga3+ site, Ga3+ is bonded to six O2- atoms to form a mixture of edge and corner-sharing GaO6 octahedra. The corner-sharing octahedra tilt angles range from 49–55°. There are a spread of Ga–O bond distances ranging from 2.01–2.06 Å. In the second Ga3+ site, Ga3+ is bonded to six O2- atoms to form a mixture of edge and corner-sharing GaO6 octahedra. The corner-sharing octahedra tilt angles range from 49–55°. There are a spread of Ga–O bond distances ranging from 2.00–2.08 Å. There are four inequivalent O2- sites. In the first O2- site, O2- is bonded in a 5-coordinate geometry to two equivalent Hg2+ and three Ga3+ atoms. In the second O2- site, O2- is bonded in a 5-coordinate geometry to two equivalent Hg2+ and three equivalent Ga3+ atoms. In the third O2- site, O2- is bonded to two equivalent Hg2+ and three equivalent Ga3+ atoms to form distorted edge-sharing OGa3Hg2 square pyramids. In the fourth O2-more » site, O2- is bonded in a 3-coordinate geometry to two equivalent Hg2+ and three Ga3+ atoms.« less
