Materials Data on Mg7Cr by Materials Project
Abstract
Mg7Cr crystallizes in the hexagonal P-6m2 space group. The structure is three-dimensional. there are five inequivalent Mg sites. In the first Mg site, Mg is bonded to ten Mg and two equivalent Cr atoms to form MgMg10Cr2 cuboctahedra that share corners with four equivalent CrMg12 cuboctahedra, corners with fourteen MgMg10Cr2 cuboctahedra, edges with two equivalent CrMg12 cuboctahedra, edges with sixteen MgMg10Cr2 cuboctahedra, faces with two equivalent CrMg12 cuboctahedra, and faces with eighteen MgMg10Cr2 cuboctahedra. There are a spread of Mg–Mg bond distances ranging from 3.12–3.15 Å. Both Mg–Cr bond lengths are 3.15 Å. In the second Mg site, Mg is bonded to ten Mg and two equivalent Cr atoms to form MgMg10Cr2 cuboctahedra that share corners with four equivalent CrMg12 cuboctahedra, corners with fourteen MgMg10Cr2 cuboctahedra, edges with two equivalent CrMg12 cuboctahedra, edges with sixteen MgMg10Cr2 cuboctahedra, faces with two equivalent CrMg12 cuboctahedra, and faces with eighteen MgMg10Cr2 cuboctahedra. There are two shorter (3.12 Å) and four longer (3.13 Å) Mg–Mg bond lengths. Both Mg–Cr bond lengths are 3.15 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 eighteen MgMg10Cr2 cuboctahedra, edges withmore »
