Title: Materials Data on KNa2 by Materials Project

Abstract

KNa2 is Hexagonal Laves structured and crystallizes in the hexagonal P6_3/mmc space group. The structure is three-dimensional. K is bonded in a 12-coordinate geometry to four equivalent K and twelve Na atoms. There are three shorter (4.56 Å) and one longer (4.58 Å) K–K bond lengths. There are nine shorter (4.37 Å) and three longer (4.38 Å) K–Na bond lengths. There are two inequivalent Na sites. In the first Na site, Na is bonded to six equivalent K and six equivalent Na atoms to form a mixture of corner, edge, and face-sharing NaK6Na6 cuboctahedra. All Na–Na bond lengths are 3.74 Å. In the second Na site, Na is bonded to six equivalent K and six Na atoms to form a mixture of corner, edge, and face-sharing NaK6Na6 cuboctahedra. There are two shorter (3.71 Å) and two longer (3.73 Å) Na–Na bond lengths.
