Materials Data on CdHg2 by Materials Project
CdHg2 crystallizes in the tetragonal I4/mmm space group. The structure is three-dimensional. Hg is bonded in a 10-coordinate geometry to five equivalent Hg and five equivalent Cd atoms. There are one shorter (3.00 Å) and four longer (3.27 Å) Hg–Hg bond lengths. There are one shorter (2.99 Å) and four longer (3.27 Å) Hg–Cd bond lengths. Cd is bonded in a distorted q6 geometry to ten equivalent Hg atoms.
