Materials Data on MgCd by Materials Project
Abstract
MgCd crystallizes in the monoclinic Cm space group. The structure is three-dimensional. there are three inequivalent Mg sites. In the first Mg site, Mg is bonded to seven Mg and five Cd atoms to form distorted MgMg7Cd5 cuboctahedra that share corners with six equivalent CdMg5Cd7 cuboctahedra, corners with twelve MgMg7Cd5 cuboctahedra, edges with five MgMg7Cd5 cuboctahedra, edges with thirteen CdMg5Cd7 cuboctahedra, faces with ten MgMg7Cd5 cuboctahedra, and faces with ten CdMg5Cd7 cuboctahedra. There are three shorter (3.17 Å) and four longer (3.21 Å) Mg–Mg bond lengths. There are a spread of Mg–Cd bond distances ranging from 3.07–3.10 Å. In the second Mg site, Mg is bonded to seven Mg and five Cd atoms to form distorted MgMg7Cd5 cuboctahedra that share corners with six equivalent MgMg7Cd5 cuboctahedra, corners with twelve CdMg5Cd7 cuboctahedra, edges with eight MgMg7Cd5 cuboctahedra, edges with ten CdMg5Cd7 cuboctahedra, faces with ten MgMg7Cd5 cuboctahedra, and faces with ten CdMg5Cd7 cuboctahedra. There are two shorter (3.16 Å) and two longer (3.21 Å) Mg–Mg bond lengths. There are three shorter (3.07 Å) and two longer (3.12 Å) Mg–Cd bond lengths. In the third Mg site, Mg is bonded to six Mg and six Cd atoms to form distorted MgMg6Cd6 cuboctahedramore »
