Materials Data on Sm(Ga2Cu)4 by Materials Project
Abstract
Sm(CuGa2)4 crystallizes in the hexagonal P6/mmm space group. The structure is three-dimensional. there are two inequivalent Sm sites. In the first Sm site, Sm is bonded in a 8-coordinate geometry to twelve equivalent Cu and eight Ga atoms. All Sm–Cu bond lengths are 3.39 Å. All Sm–Ga bond lengths are 3.12 Å. In the second Sm site, Sm is bonded in a 8-coordinate geometry to six equivalent Cu and fourteen Ga atoms. All Sm–Cu bond lengths are 3.49 Å. There are eight shorter (3.18 Å) and six longer (3.30 Å) Sm–Ga bond lengths. Cu is bonded to two Sm, two equivalent Cu, and eight Ga atoms to form distorted CuSm2Ga8Cu2 cuboctahedra that share corners with five equivalent GaSm2Ga6Cu4 cuboctahedra, corners with nine equivalent CuSm2Ga8Cu2 cuboctahedra, edges with three equivalent CuSm2Ga8Cu2 cuboctahedra, edges with three equivalent GaSm2Ga6Cu4 cuboctahedra, faces with two equivalent GaSm2Ga6Cu4 cuboctahedra, and faces with eight equivalent CuSm2Ga8Cu2 cuboctahedra. Both Cu–Cu bond lengths are 2.61 Å. There are a spread of Cu–Ga bond distances ranging from 2.62–2.78 Å. There are five inequivalent Ga sites. In the first Ga site, Ga is bonded to two equivalent Sm, four equivalent Cu, and six Ga atoms to form distorted GaSm2Ga6Cu4 cuboctahedra thatmore »
