Materials Data on BeAg3 by Materials Project

Abstract

BeAg3 is Uranium Silicide structured and crystallizes in the cubic Pm-3m space group. The structure is three-dimensional. Be is bonded to twelve equivalent Ag atoms to form BeAg12 cuboctahedra that share corners with twelve equivalent BeAg12 cuboctahedra, edges with twenty-four equivalent AgBe4Ag8 cuboctahedra, faces with six equivalent BeAg12 cuboctahedra, and faces with twelve equivalent AgBe4Ag8 cuboctahedra. All Be–Ag bond lengths are 2.82 Å. Ag is bonded to four equivalent Be and eight equivalent Ag atoms to form AgBe4Ag8 cuboctahedra that share corners with twelve equivalent AgBe4Ag8 cuboctahedra, edges with eight equivalent BeAg12 cuboctahedra, edges with sixteen equivalent AgBe4Ag8 cuboctahedra, faces with four equivalent BeAg12 cuboctahedra, and faces with fourteen equivalent AgBe4Ag8 cuboctahedra. All Ag–Ag bond lengths are 2.82 Å.
