Materials Data on Mg6ZnW by Materials Project
Abstract
Mg6WZn 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 to eight Mg, two equivalent W, and two equivalent Zn atoms to form distorted MgMg8Zn2W2 cuboctahedra that share corners with four equivalent WMg10Zn2 cuboctahedra, corners with four equivalent ZnMg10W2 cuboctahedra, corners with ten equivalent MgMg8Zn2W2 cuboctahedra, edges with two equivalent WMg10Zn2 cuboctahedra, edges with two equivalent ZnMg10W2 cuboctahedra, edges with six MgMg8Zn2W2 cuboctahedra, faces with two equivalent WMg10Zn2 cuboctahedra, faces with two equivalent ZnMg10W2 cuboctahedra, and faces with six MgMg8Zn2W2 cuboctahedra. There are a spread of Mg–Mg bond distances ranging from 2.97–3.03 Å. There are one shorter (3.04 Å) and one longer (3.06 Å) Mg–W bond lengths. There are one shorter (3.02 Å) and one longer (3.08 Å) Mg–Zn bond lengths. In the second Mg site, Mg is bonded in a 12-coordinate geometry to eight Mg, two equivalent W, and two equivalent Zn atoms. There are a spread of Mg–Mg bond distances ranging from 2.88–3.21 Å. Both Mg–W bond lengths are 2.96 Å. Both Mg–Zn bond lengths are 3.01 Å. In the third Mg site, Mg is bonded to ten Mg and two equivalentmore »
