Materials Data on BaMgHg2 by Materials Project
BaMgHg2 crystallizes in the orthorhombic Immm space group. The structure is one-dimensional and consists of two BaMgHg2 ribbons oriented in the (1, 0, 0) direction. Ba is bonded in a linear geometry to two equivalent Hg atoms. Both Ba–Hg bond lengths are 3.63 Å. Mg is bonded in a linear geometry to two equivalent Hg atoms. Both Mg–Hg bond lengths are 3.06 Å. Hg is bonded in a linear geometry to one Ba and one Mg atom.
