Materials Data on Mg(NiGe)6 by Materials Project
Abstract
Mg(NiGe)6 crystallizes in the hexagonal P6/mmm space group. The structure is three-dimensional. Mg is bonded to twelve equivalent Ni and eight Ge atoms to form distorted face-sharing MgNi12Ge8 hexagonal bipyramids. All Mg–Ni bond lengths are 3.21 Å. There are two shorter (2.66 Å) and six longer (2.95 Å) Mg–Ge bond lengths. Ni is bonded in a 12-coordinate geometry to two equivalent Mg, four equivalent Ni, and six Ge atoms. All Ni–Ni bond lengths are 2.55 Å. There are a spread of Ni–Ge bond distances ranging from 2.45–2.65 Å. There are three inequivalent Ge sites. In the first Ge site, Ge is bonded in a 12-coordinate geometry to three equivalent Mg and six equivalent Ni atoms. In the second Ge site, Ge is bonded in a 6-coordinate geometry to six equivalent Ni atoms. In the third Ge site, Ge is bonded in a 8-coordinate geometry to one Mg, six equivalent Ni, and one Ge atom. The Ge–Ge bond length is 2.52 Å.
