Materials Data on Ce2InGe2 by Materials Project
Ce2Ge2In crystallizes in the tetragonal P4/mbm space group. The structure is three-dimensional. Ce is bonded in a 6-coordinate geometry to four equivalent In and six equivalent Ge atoms. All Ce–In bond lengths are 3.51 Å. There are two shorter (3.05 Å) and four longer (3.16 Å) Ce–Ge bond lengths. In is bonded to eight equivalent Ce and four equivalent Ge atoms to form a mixture of corner and face-sharing InCe8Ge4 cuboctahedra. All In–Ge bond lengths are 2.99 Å. Ge is bonded in a 9-coordinate geometry to six equivalent Ce, two equivalent In, and one Ge atom. The Ge–Ge bond length is 2.54 Å.
