Title: Materials Data on Mg3Cr by Materials Project

Abstract

Mg3Cr is beta Cu3Ti-like structured and crystallizes in the hexagonal P6_3/mmc space group. The structure is three-dimensional. Mg is bonded to eight equivalent Mg and four equivalent Cr atoms to form distorted MgMg8Cr4 cuboctahedra that share corners with four equivalent CrMg12 cuboctahedra, corners with fourteen equivalent MgMg8Cr4 cuboctahedra, edges with six equivalent CrMg12 cuboctahedra, edges with twelve equivalent MgMg8Cr4 cuboctahedra, faces with four equivalent CrMg12 cuboctahedra, and faces with sixteen equivalent MgMg8Cr4 cuboctahedra. There are a spread of Mg–Mg bond distances ranging from 3.02–3.17 Å. There are two shorter (3.04 Å) and two longer (3.09 Å) Mg–Cr bond lengths. Cr is bonded to twelve equivalent Mg atoms to form CrMg12 cuboctahedra that share corners with six equivalent CrMg12 cuboctahedra, corners with twelve equivalent MgMg8Cr4 cuboctahedra, edges with eighteen equivalent MgMg8Cr4 cuboctahedra, faces with eight equivalent CrMg12 cuboctahedra, and faces with twelve equivalent MgMg8Cr4 cuboctahedra.
