Materials Data on Ca10(Al2Ge3)3 by Materials Project
Abstract
Ca10(Al2Ge3)3 crystallizes in the trigonal R-3m space group. The structure is three-dimensional. there are five inequivalent Ca sites. In the first Ca site, Ca is bonded in a 4-coordinate geometry to six Ge atoms. There are a spread of Ca–Ge bond distances ranging from 3.02–3.41 Å. In the second Ca site, Ca is bonded in a distorted see-saw-like geometry to two equivalent Al and six Ge atoms. Both Ca–Al bond lengths are 3.50 Å. There are a spread of Ca–Ge bond distances ranging from 3.05–3.56 Å. In the third Ca site, Ca is bonded in a 4-coordinate geometry to two equivalent Al and five Ge atoms. Both Ca–Al bond lengths are 3.14 Å. There are a spread of Ca–Ge bond distances ranging from 2.91–3.33 Å. In the fourth Ca site, Ca is bonded to six equivalent Al and six equivalent Ge atoms to form distorted CaAl6Ge6 cuboctahedra that share edges with six equivalent AlCaGe4 tetrahedra. All Ca–Al bond lengths are 3.54 Å. All Ca–Ge bond lengths are 3.31 Å. In the fifth Ca site, Ca is bonded in a distorted cuboctahedral geometry to six equivalent Al and six equivalent Ge atoms. All Ca–Al bond lengths are 3.49 Å. All Ca–Gemore »
