Materials Data on BeGeP2 by Materials Project
BeGeP2 is Chalcopyrite structured and crystallizes in the tetragonal I-42d space group. The structure is three-dimensional. Be2+ is bonded to four equivalent P3- atoms to form BeP4 tetrahedra that share corners with four equivalent BeP4 tetrahedra and corners with eight equivalent GeP4 tetrahedra. All Be–P bond lengths are 2.18 Å. Ge4+ is bonded to four equivalent P3- atoms to form GeP4 tetrahedra that share corners with four equivalent GeP4 tetrahedra and corners with eight equivalent BeP4 tetrahedra. All Ge–P bond lengths are 2.35 Å. P3- is bonded to two equivalent Be2+ and two equivalent Ge4+ atoms to form corner-sharing PBe2Ge2 tetrahedra.
