The Materials Project

MgMg2Cu crystallizes in the orthorhombic Imm2 space group. The structure is two-dimensional and consists of two MgMg2Cu sheets oriented in the (0, 0, 1) direction. there are two inequivalent Mg sites. In the first Mg site, Mg is bonded in a 2-coordinate geometry to two equivalent Cu atoms. Both Mg–Cu bond lengths are 2.68 Å. In the second Mg site, Mg is bonded in a 4-coordinate geometry to four equivalent Cu atoms. There are two shorter (2.83 Å) and two longer (2.98 Å) Mg–Cu bond lengths. Cu is bonded in a distorted body-centered cubic geometry to eight Mg atoms.
