Materials Data on Li2CdIn by Materials Project

Abstract

Li2CdIn is Zintl Phase-derived structured and crystallizes in the cubic F-43m space group. The structure is three-dimensional. there are two inequivalent Li sites. In the first Li site, Li is bonded to four equivalent In atoms to form distorted corner-sharing LiIn4 tetrahedra. All Li–In bond lengths are 2.95 Å. In the second Li site, Li is bonded to four equivalent Cd atoms to form distorted corner-sharing LiCd4 tetrahedra. All Li–Cd bond lengths are 2.95 Å. Cd is bonded in a distorted body-centered cubic geometry to four equivalent Li and four equivalent In atoms. All Cd–In bond lengths are 2.95 Å. In is bonded in a distorted body-centered cubic geometry to four equivalent Li and four equivalent Cd atoms.
