Materials Data on LiMg by Materials Project
Abstract
LiMg crystallizes in the trigonal R-3m space group. The structure is three-dimensional. there are three inequivalent Li sites. In the first Li site, Li is bonded to six equivalent Li and six equivalent Mg atoms to form distorted LiLi6Mg6 cuboctahedra that share corners with twelve LiLi6Mg6 cuboctahedra, edges with twelve LiLi6Mg6 cuboctahedra, edges with twelve equivalent MgLi6Mg6 cuboctahedra, faces with six equivalent LiLi6Mg6 cuboctahedra, and faces with twelve equivalent MgLi6Mg6 cuboctahedra. All Li–Li bond lengths are 3.13 Å. All Li–Mg bond lengths are 3.07 Å. In the second Li site, Li is bonded to six equivalent Li and six Mg atoms to form distorted LiLi6Mg6 cuboctahedra that share corners with five equivalent MgLi6Mg10 cuboctahedra, corners with twelve LiLi6Mg6 cuboctahedra, edges with ten MgLi6Mg6 cuboctahedra, edges with twelve LiLi6Mg6 cuboctahedra, faces with six equivalent LiLi6Mg6 cuboctahedra, and faces with fifteen MgLi6Mg6 cuboctahedra. All Li–Li bond lengths are 3.13 Å. All Li–Mg bond lengths are 3.07 Å. In the third Li site, Li is bonded to six equivalent Li and six Mg atoms to form distorted LiLi6Mg6 cuboctahedra that share corners with five equivalent MgLi6Mg10 cuboctahedra, corners with twelve LiLi6Mg6 cuboctahedra, edges with ten MgLi6Mg6 cuboctahedra, edges with twelve LiLi6Mg6 cuboctahedra, facesmore »
