Materials Data on BaZnGe by Materials Project
BaZnGe crystallizes in the hexagonal P6_3/mmc space group. The structure is three-dimensional. Ba is bonded to six equivalent Zn and six equivalent Ge atoms to form a mixture of edge and face-sharing BaZn6Ge6 cuboctahedra. All Ba–Zn bond lengths are 3.56 Å. All Ba–Ge bond lengths are 3.56 Å. Zn is bonded in a distorted trigonal planar geometry to six equivalent Ba and three equivalent Ge atoms. All Zn–Ge bond lengths are 2.59 Å. Ge is bonded in a distorted trigonal planar geometry to six equivalent Ba and three equivalent Zn atoms.
