Materials Data on Sm2Ga5Au3 by Materials Project
Abstract
Sm2Au3Ga5 crystallizes in the tetragonal P-4m2 space group. The structure is three-dimensional. Sm is bonded in a 4-coordinate geometry to six Au and ten Ga atoms. There are four shorter (3.25 Å) and two longer (3.47 Å) Sm–Au bond lengths. There are a spread of Sm–Ga bond distances ranging from 3.37–3.56 Å. There are two inequivalent Au sites. In the first Au site, Au is bonded in a 3-coordinate geometry to four equivalent Sm, two equivalent Au, and three Ga atoms. Both Au–Au bond lengths are 2.72 Å. There are one shorter (2.45 Å) and two longer (2.72 Å) Au–Ga bond lengths. In the second Au site, Au is bonded to four equivalent Sm, four equivalent Au, and four equivalent Ga atoms to form AuSm4Ga4Au4 cuboctahedra that share corners with four equivalent AuSm4Ga4Au4 cuboctahedra, corners with twelve GaSm4Ga8 cuboctahedra, edges with two equivalent GaSm4Ga8 cuboctahedra, faces with four equivalent AuSm4Ga4Au4 cuboctahedra, and faces with four equivalent GaSm4Au8 cuboctahedra. All Au–Ga bond lengths are 3.07 Å. There are four inequivalent Ga sites. In the first Ga site, Ga is bonded to four equivalent Sm and eight Ga atoms to form distorted GaSm4Ga8 cuboctahedra that share corners with eight equivalent AuSm4Ga4Au4 cuboctahedra,more »
