Materials Data on BaMg14Ga by Materials Project
Abstract
BaMg14Ga crystallizes in the hexagonal P-6m2 space group. The structure is three-dimensional. Ba is bonded to twelve Mg atoms to form BaMg12 cuboctahedra that share corners with six equivalent BaMg12 cuboctahedra, corners with twelve equivalent MgMg10Ga2 cuboctahedra, edges with eighteen MgBa2Mg10 cuboctahedra, faces with two equivalent GaMg12 cuboctahedra, and faces with eighteen MgBa2Mg10 cuboctahedra. There are six shorter (3.29 Å) and six longer (3.42 Å) Ba–Mg bond lengths. There are four inequivalent Mg sites. In the first Mg site, Mg is bonded to two equivalent Ba and ten Mg atoms to form distorted MgBa2Mg10 cuboctahedra that share corners with four equivalent GaMg12 cuboctahedra, corners with fourteen MgBa2Mg10 cuboctahedra, edges with two equivalent BaMg12 cuboctahedra, edges with sixteen MgBa2Mg10 cuboctahedra, faces with two equivalent BaMg12 cuboctahedra, and faces with eighteen MgBa2Mg10 cuboctahedra. There are a spread of Mg–Mg bond distances ranging from 3.17–3.40 Å. In the second Mg site, Mg is bonded to ten Mg and two equivalent Ga atoms to form distorted MgMg10Ga2 cuboctahedra that share corners with four equivalent BaMg12 cuboctahedra, corners with fourteen MgBa2Mg10 cuboctahedra, edges with two equivalent GaMg12 cuboctahedra, edges with sixteen MgMg10Ga2 cuboctahedra, faces with two equivalent GaMg12 cuboctahedra, and faces with eighteen MgBa2Mg10 cuboctahedra.more »
