Materials Data on Ce4Mg7Ge6 by Materials Project
Abstract
Mg7Ce4Ge6 crystallizes in the monoclinic C2/m space group. The structure is three-dimensional. there are four inequivalent Mg sites. In the first Mg site, Mg is bonded in a 4-coordinate geometry to four Ge atoms. There are a spread of Mg–Ge bond distances ranging from 2.72–2.98 Å. In the second Mg site, Mg is bonded to four Ge atoms to form distorted MgGe4 tetrahedra that share corners with two equivalent CeGe6 octahedra, corners with six MgGe4 tetrahedra, edges with two equivalent CeGe6 octahedra, and an edgeedge with one MgGe4 tetrahedra. The corner-sharing octahedral tilt angles are 47°. There are a spread of Mg–Ge bond distances ranging from 2.80–2.88 Å. In the third Mg site, Mg is bonded to four Ge atoms to form distorted MgGe4 tetrahedra that share corners with three equivalent CeGe6 octahedra, corners with six MgGe4 tetrahedra, and edges with three equivalent CeGe6 octahedra. The corner-sharing octahedra tilt angles range from 14–62°. There are a spread of Mg–Ge bond distances ranging from 2.67–2.94 Å. In the fourth Mg site, Mg is bonded in a 4-coordinate geometry to four equivalent Ge atoms. All Mg–Ge bond lengths are 2.97 Å. There are two inequivalent Ce sites. In the first Ce site,more »
