Materials Data on CrGaP2 by Materials Project
CrGaP2 is Chalcopyrite-like structured and crystallizes in the tetragonal P-4m2 space group. The structure is three-dimensional. Cr3+ is bonded to four equivalent P3- atoms to form CrP4 tetrahedra that share corners with four equivalent CrP4 tetrahedra and corners with eight equivalent GaP4 tetrahedra. All Cr–P bond lengths are 2.34 Å. Ga3+ is bonded to four equivalent P3- atoms to form GaP4 tetrahedra that share corners with four equivalent GaP4 tetrahedra and corners with eight equivalent CrP4 tetrahedra. All Ga–P bond lengths are 2.39 Å. P3- is bonded to two equivalent Cr3+ and two equivalent Ga3+ atoms to form corner-sharing PCr2Ga2 tetrahedra.
