Materials Data on CeZnGa by Materials Project
CeZnGa is hexagonal omega structure-derived structured and crystallizes in the hexagonal P6_3/mmc space group. The structure is three-dimensional. Ce is bonded to six equivalent Zn and six equivalent Ga atoms to form a mixture of edge and face-sharing CeZn6Ga6 cuboctahedra. All Ce–Zn bond lengths are 3.20 Å. All Ce–Ga bond lengths are 3.20 Å. Zn is bonded in a 3-coordinate geometry to six equivalent Ce and three equivalent Ga atoms. All Zn–Ga bond lengths are 2.59 Å. Ga is bonded in a 9-coordinate geometry to six equivalent Ce and three equivalent Zn atoms.
