Materials Data on Ca(MnGe)2 by Materials Project
CaMn2Ge2 crystallizes in the tetragonal I4/mmm space group. The structure is three-dimensional. Ca is bonded in a 8-coordinate geometry to eight equivalent Ge atoms. All Ca–Ge bond lengths are 3.14 Å. Mn is bonded to four equivalent Ge atoms to form a mixture of edge and corner-sharing MnGe4 tetrahedra. All Mn–Ge bond lengths are 2.44 Å. Ge is bonded in a 9-coordinate geometry to four equivalent Ca, four equivalent Mn, and one Ge atom. The Ge–Ge bond length is 2.73 Å.
