Materials Data on Ca(Al5Cr)2 by Materials Project
CaCr2Al10 is Bergman Structure: Mg32(Al,Zn)49 Bergman-like structured and crystallizes in the tetragonal P4/nmm space group. The structure is three-dimensional. there are two inequivalent Ca sites. In the first Ca site, Ca is bonded in a 12-coordinate geometry to four equivalent Cr and twelve Al atoms. All Ca–Cr bond lengths are 3.36 Å. There are four shorter (3.17 Å) and eight longer (3.31 Å) Ca–Al bond lengths. In the second Ca site, Ca is bonded in a 8-coordinate geometry to sixteen Al atoms. There are a spread of Ca–Al bond distances ranging from 3.18–3.33 Å. Cr is bonded in a 12-coordinate geometry to one Ca and ten Al atoms. There are a spread of Cr–Al bond distances ranging from 2.53–2.76 Å. There are ten inequivalent Al sites. In the first Al site, Al is bonded in a 10-coordinate geometry to one Ca, two equivalent Cr, and seven Al atoms. There are a spread of Al–Al bond distances ranging from 2.76–2.92 Å.
