Materials Data on AcAg3 by Materials Project
AcAg3 crystallizes in the orthorhombic Cmcm space group. The structure is three-dimensional. Ac is bonded to twelve Ag atoms to form a mixture of distorted corner and face-sharing AcAg12 cuboctahedra. There are a spread of Ac–Ag bond distances ranging from 3.36–3.51 Å. There are two inequivalent Ag sites. In the first Ag site, Ag is bonded in a 10-coordinate geometry to four equivalent Ac and six Ag atoms. There are a spread of Ag–Ag bond distances ranging from 2.94–2.97 Å. In the second Ag site, Ag is bonded in a 10-coordinate geometry to four equivalent Ac and six equivalent Ag atoms.
