Materials Data on CdAg by Materials Project

Abstract

AgCd crystallizes in the orthorhombic Amm2 space group. The structure is three-dimensional. Ag is bonded to six equivalent Ag and six equivalent Cd atoms to form distorted AgCd6Ag6 cuboctahedra that share corners with eighteen equivalent AgCd6Ag6 cuboctahedra, edges with six equivalent AgCd6Ag6 cuboctahedra, edges with twelve equivalent CdCd6Ag6 cuboctahedra, faces with eight equivalent AgCd6Ag6 cuboctahedra, and faces with twelve equivalent CdCd6Ag6 cuboctahedra. There are two shorter (2.99 Å) and four longer (3.12 Å) Ag–Ag bond lengths. There are four shorter (2.98 Å) and two longer (3.01 Å) Ag–Cd bond lengths. Cd is bonded to six equivalent Ag and six equivalent Cd atoms to form distorted CdCd6Ag6 cuboctahedra that share corners with eighteen equivalent CdCd6Ag6 cuboctahedra, edges with six equivalent CdCd6Ag6 cuboctahedra, edges with twelve equivalent AgCd6Ag6 cuboctahedra, faces with eight equivalent CdCd6Ag6 cuboctahedra, and faces with twelve equivalent AgCd6Ag6 cuboctahedra. There are two shorter (2.99 Å) and four longer (3.12 Å) Cd–Cd bond lengths.
