Materials Data on Pr4Mg5Ge6 by Materials Project
Abstract
Mg5Pr4Ge6 crystallizes in the orthorhombic Cmc2_1 space group. The structure is three-dimensional. there are five inequivalent Mg sites. In the first Mg site, Mg is bonded to four Ge atoms to form distorted MgGe4 tetrahedra that share corners with six PrGe6 octahedra, corners with four MgGe4 tetrahedra, and edges with five MgGe4 tetrahedra. The corner-sharing octahedra tilt angles range from 55–60°. There are a spread of Mg–Ge bond distances ranging from 2.73–2.79 Å. In the second Mg site, Mg is bonded to four Ge atoms to form distorted MgGe4 tetrahedra that share corners with two PrGe6 octahedra, corners with eight MgGe4 tetrahedra, edges with four PrGe6 octahedra, and edges with two MgGe4 tetrahedra. The corner-sharing octahedra tilt angles range from 9–11°. There are a spread of Mg–Ge bond distances ranging from 2.74–2.80 Å. In the third Mg site, Mg is bonded to four Ge atoms to form distorted MgGe4 tetrahedra that share corners with two equivalent PrGe6 octahedra, corners with six MgGe4 tetrahedra, edges with three PrGe6 octahedra, and edges with two equivalent MgGe4 tetrahedra. The corner-sharing octahedral tilt angles are 15°. There are a spread of Mg–Ge bond distances ranging from 2.67–2.87 Å. In the fourth Mg site, Mgmore »
