Materials Data on BaHgPb by Materials Project
BaHgPb crystallizes in the monoclinic C2/m space group. The structure is three-dimensional. Ba is bonded in a 12-coordinate geometry to six equivalent Hg and six equivalent Pb atoms. There are a spread of Ba–Hg bond distances ranging from 3.65–3.92 Å. There are a spread of Ba–Pb bond distances ranging from 3.66–3.98 Å. Hg is bonded in a 10-coordinate geometry to six equivalent Ba, one Hg, and three equivalent Pb atoms. The Hg–Hg bond length is 2.99 Å. There are two shorter (3.14 Å) and one longer (3.36 Å) Hg–Pb bond lengths. Pb is bonded in a 10-coordinate geometry to six equivalent Ba, three equivalent Hg, and one Pb atom. The Pb–Pb bond length is 3.08 Å.
