Materials Data on LiMg2 by Materials Project
Abstract
LiMg2 crystallizes in the hexagonal P-62m space group. The structure is three-dimensional. Li is bonded to three equivalent Li and nine Mg atoms to form distorted LiLi3Mg9 cuboctahedra that share corners with nine equivalent LiLi3Mg9 cuboctahedra, corners with nine equivalent MgLi6Mg6 cuboctahedra, edges with six equivalent LiLi3Mg9 cuboctahedra, edges with twelve MgLi4Mg8 cuboctahedra, faces with five equivalent LiLi3Mg9 cuboctahedra, and faces with fifteen MgLi4Mg8 cuboctahedra. All Li–Li bond lengths are 3.16 Å. There are six shorter (3.08 Å) and three longer (3.16 Å) Li–Mg bond lengths. There are three inequivalent Mg sites. In the first Mg site, Mg is bonded to four equivalent Li and eight Mg atoms to form distorted MgLi4Mg8 cuboctahedra that share corners with eighteen MgLi4Mg8 cuboctahedra, edges with eight equivalent LiLi3Mg9 cuboctahedra, edges with ten MgLi4Mg8 cuboctahedra, faces with eight equivalent LiLi3Mg9 cuboctahedra, and faces with twelve MgLi4Mg8 cuboctahedra. There are a spread of Mg–Mg bond distances ranging from 3.10–3.19 Å. In the second Mg site, Mg is bonded to four equivalent Li and eight Mg atoms to form distorted MgLi4Mg8 cuboctahedra that share corners with eighteen equivalent MgLi4Mg8 cuboctahedra, edges with eight equivalent LiLi3Mg9 cuboctahedra, edges with ten MgLi4Mg8 cuboctahedra, faces with eight equivalent LiLi3Mg9more »
