Materials Data on Nd(AgGe)2 by Materials Project
NdAg2Ge2 crystallizes in the tetragonal I4/mmm space group. The structure is three-dimensional. Nd is bonded in a 8-coordinate geometry to eight equivalent Ag and eight equivalent Ge atoms. All Nd–Ag bond lengths are 3.53 Å. All Nd–Ge bond lengths are 3.29 Å. Ag is bonded to four equivalent Nd, four equivalent Ag, and four equivalent Ge atoms to form a mixture of distorted edge, face, and corner-sharing AgNd4Ag4Ge4 cuboctahedra. All Ag–Ag bond lengths are 3.05 Å. All Ag–Ge bond lengths are 2.67 Å. Ge is bonded in a 9-coordinate geometry to four equivalent Nd, four equivalent Ag, and one Ge atom. The Ge–Ge bond length is 2.46 Å.
