Materials Data on CdHgO2 by Materials Project
CdO(HgO) crystallizes in the monoclinic C2/m space group. The structure is three-dimensional. Hg2+ is bonded in a linear geometry to two equivalent O2- atoms. Both Hg–O bond lengths are 2.02 Å. Cd2+ is bonded to six equivalent O2- atoms to form edge-sharing CdO6 octahedra. All Cd–O bond lengths are 2.36 Å. O2- is bonded to one Hg2+ and three equivalent Cd2+ atoms to form a mixture of distorted edge and corner-sharing OCd3Hg tetrahedra.
