Materials Data on Rb8Hg3Ge43 by Materials Project
Abstract
Rb8Hg3Ge43 crystallizes in the trigonal R32 space group. The structure is three-dimensional. there are three inequivalent Rb sites. In the first Rb site, Rb is bonded in a 8-coordinate geometry to twenty Ge atoms. There are a spread of Rb–Ge bond distances ranging from 3.51–3.63 Å. In the second Rb site, Rb is bonded in a 12-coordinate geometry to two equivalent Hg and ten Ge atoms. Both Rb–Hg bond lengths are 3.93 Å. There are a spread of Rb–Ge bond distances ranging from 3.77–3.94 Å. In the third Rb site, Rb is bonded in a 12-coordinate geometry to two equivalent Hg and ten Ge atoms. Both Rb–Hg bond lengths are 3.93 Å. There are a spread of Rb–Ge bond distances ranging from 3.76–3.94 Å. Hg is bonded to four Rb and four Ge atoms to form distorted corner-sharing HgRb4Ge4 tetrahedra. All Hg–Ge bond lengths are 2.64 Å. There are nine inequivalent Ge sites. In the first Ge site, Ge is bonded in a 7-coordinate geometry to three Rb and four Ge atoms. There are a spread of Ge–Ge bond distances ranging from 2.55–2.63 Å. In the second Ge site, Ge is bonded in a 7-coordinate geometry to three Rb, onemore »
