Materials Data on Mg6SnW by Materials Project
Abstract
Mg6WSn 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 W, and two equivalent Sn atoms. There are a spread of Mg–Mg bond distances ranging from 2.97–3.24 Å. Both Mg–W bond lengths are 3.02 Å. There are one shorter (2.93 Å) and one longer (3.21 Å) Mg–Sn bond lengths. In the second Mg site, Mg is bonded to ten Mg and two equivalent Sn atoms to form distorted MgMg10Sn2 cuboctahedra that share corners with four equivalent SnMg10W2 cuboctahedra, corners with fourteen MgMg10Sn2 cuboctahedra, edges with two equivalent SnMg10W2 cuboctahedra, edges with four equivalent MgMg4Sn2W2 cuboctahedra, faces with two equivalent MgMg10Sn2 cuboctahedra, faces with two equivalent SnMg10W2 cuboctahedra, and faces with six equivalent WMg10Sn2 cuboctahedra. All Mg–Mg bond lengths are 3.05 Å. Both Mg–Sn bond lengths are 3.11 Å. In the third Mg site, Mg is bonded to four Mg, two equivalent W, and two equivalent Sn atoms to form distorted MgMg4Sn2W2 cuboctahedra that share corners with two equivalent SnMg10W2 cuboctahedra, corners with four equivalent WMg10Sn2 cuboctahedra, corners with twelve MgMg10Sn2 cuboctahedra, edges with two equivalentmore »
