Materials Data on Ce5Ga3 by Materials Project
Ce5Ga3 crystallizes in the tetragonal I4/mcm space group. The structure is three-dimensional. there are two inequivalent Ce sites. In the first Ce site, Ce is bonded in a 6-coordinate geometry to two equivalent Ce and four equivalent Ga atoms. Both Ce–Ce bond lengths are 2.82 Å. All Ce–Ga bond lengths are 3.11 Å. In the second Ce site, Ce is bonded in a 6-coordinate geometry to six Ga atoms. There are a spread of Ce–Ga bond distances ranging from 3.15–3.27 Å. There are two inequivalent Ga sites. In the first Ga site, Ga is bonded in a 10-coordinate geometry to eight equivalent Ce and two equivalent Ga atoms. Both Ga–Ga bond lengths are 2.82 Å. In the second Ga site, Ga is bonded in a distorted q6 geometry to ten Ce atoms.
