Materials Data on CaMg14B by Materials Project
Abstract
CaMg14B crystallizes in the hexagonal P-6m2 space group. The structure is three-dimensional. Ca is bonded to twelve Mg atoms to form CaMg12 cuboctahedra that share corners with six equivalent CaMg12 cuboctahedra, edges with six MgCa2Mg10 cuboctahedra, and faces with twelve MgCa2Mg10 cuboctahedra. There are six shorter (3.18 Å) and six longer (3.29 Å) Ca–Mg bond lengths. There are six inequivalent Mg sites. In the first Mg site, Mg is bonded to two equivalent Ca and ten Mg atoms to form distorted MgCa2Mg10 cuboctahedra that share corners with six equivalent MgCa2Mg10 cuboctahedra, edges with two equivalent CaMg12 cuboctahedra, edges with eight MgCa2Mg10 cuboctahedra, faces with two equivalent CaMg12 cuboctahedra, and faces with six MgCa2Mg10 cuboctahedra. There are a spread of Mg–Mg bond distances ranging from 3.08–3.32 Å. In the second Mg site, Mg is bonded in a 10-coordinate geometry to ten Mg atoms. There are a spread of Mg–Mg bond distances ranging from 3.05–3.25 Å. In the third Mg site, Mg is bonded to two equivalent Ca and ten Mg atoms to form distorted MgCa2Mg10 cuboctahedra that share corners with six equivalent MgCa2Mg10 cuboctahedra, edges with two equivalent CaMg12 cuboctahedra, edges with eight MgCa2Mg10 cuboctahedra, faces with two equivalent CaMg12 cuboctahedra,more »
