Materials Data on Mg6CrB by Materials Project
Abstract
Mg6CrB crystallizes in the orthorhombic Amm2 space group. The structure is three-dimensional. there are four inequivalent Mg sites. In the first Mg site, Mg is bonded in a 12-coordinate geometry to eight Mg, two equivalent Cr, and two equivalent B atoms. There are a spread of Mg–Mg bond distances ranging from 2.95–3.02 Å. There are one shorter (3.04 Å) and one longer (3.05 Å) Mg–Cr bond lengths. There are one shorter (3.02 Å) and one longer (3.06 Å) Mg–B bond lengths. In the second Mg site, Mg is bonded in a 12-coordinate geometry to four Mg, two equivalent Cr, and two equivalent B atoms. There are one shorter (2.97 Å) and one longer (3.12 Å) Mg–Mg bond lengths. Both Mg–Cr bond lengths are 2.94 Å. Both Mg–B bond lengths are 2.91 Å. In the third Mg site, Mg is bonded to ten Mg and two equivalent Cr atoms to form distorted MgMg10Cr2 cuboctahedra that share corners with six equivalent MgMg10Cr2 cuboctahedra, edges with four equivalent CrMg10 cuboctahedra, faces with two equivalent MgMg10Cr2 cuboctahedra, and faces with two equivalent CrMg10 cuboctahedra. Both Mg–Mg bond lengths are 3.01 Å. Both Mg–Cr bond lengths are 2.89 Å. In the fourth Mg site, Mgmore »
