Title: Materials Data on MgAl by Materials Project

Abstract

MgAl is beta-prime cadmium gold structured and crystallizes in the orthorhombic Pmma space group. The structure is three-dimensional. Mg is bonded to four equivalent Mg and eight equivalent Al atoms to form a mixture of distorted corner, edge, and face-sharing MgMg4Al8 cuboctahedra. There are two shorter (3.02 Å) and two longer (3.13 Å) Mg–Mg bond lengths. There are a spread of Mg–Al bond distances ranging from 2.94–3.09 Å. Al is bonded in a 12-coordinate geometry to eight equivalent Mg and two equivalent Al atoms. Both Al–Al bond lengths are 2.92 Å.
