Materials Data on Cd2Hg by Materials Project
HgCd2 is Titanium Disilicide-like structured and crystallizes in the tetragonal I4/mmm space group. The structure is three-dimensional. Hg is bonded in a distorted q6 geometry to ten equivalent Cd atoms. There are two shorter (2.95 Å) and eight longer (3.22 Å) Hg–Cd bond lengths. Cd is bonded in a 10-coordinate geometry to five equivalent Hg and five equivalent Cd atoms. There are one shorter (2.95 Å) and four longer (3.22 Å) Cd–Cd bond lengths.
