Abstract
Mg2Y is Magnesium-derived structured and crystallizes in the trigonal P-3m1 space group. The structure is three-dimensional. there are three inequivalent Mg sites. In the first Mg site, Mg is bonded to twelve Mg atoms to form MgMg12 cuboctahedra that share corners with six equivalent YY9Mg3 cuboctahedra, corners with twelve MgMg12 cuboctahedra, edges with eighteen MgMg12 cuboctahedra, a faceface with one YY9Mg3 cuboctahedra, and faces with nineteen MgMg12 cuboctahedra. There are a spread of Mg–Mg bond distances ranging from 3.27–3.34 Å. In the second Mg site, Mg is bonded to nine Mg and three equivalent Y atoms to form MgY3Mg9 cuboctahedra that share corners with six equivalent YY9Mg3 cuboctahedra, corners with twelve MgY3Mg9 cuboctahedra, edges with six equivalent YY9Mg3 cuboctahedra, edges with twelve MgMg12 cuboctahedra, faces with seven equivalent YY9Mg3 cuboctahedra, and faces with thirteen MgMg12 cuboctahedra. All Mg–Mg bond lengths are 3.34 Å. All Mg–Y bond lengths are 3.43 Å. In the third Mg site, Mg is bonded to twelve Mg atoms to form MgMg12 cuboctahedra that share corners with six equivalent YY9Mg3 cuboctahedra, corners with twelve MgY3Mg9 cuboctahedra, edges with eighteen MgMg12 cuboctahedra, a faceface with one YY9Mg3 cuboctahedra, and faces with nineteen MgMg12 cuboctahedra.
