Materials Data on Nb6GaSi by Materials Project

Nb6GaSi crystallizes in the cubic Pm-3 space group. The structure is three-dimensional. Nb is bonded in a 6-coordinate geometry to two equivalent Nb, two equivalent Ga, and two equivalent Si atoms. There are one shorter (2.51 Å) and one longer (2.65 Å) Nb–Nb bond lengths. Both Nb–Ga bond lengths are 2.90 Å. Both Nb–Si bond lengths are 2.87 Å. Ga is bonded to twelve equivalent Nb atoms to form GaNb12 cuboctahedra that share edges with six equivalent GaNb12 cuboctahedra and faces with eight equivalent SiNb12 cuboctahedra. Si is bonded to twelve equivalent Nb atoms to form SiNb12 cuboctahedra that share edges with six equivalent SiNb12 cuboctahedra and faces with eight equivalent GaNb12 cuboctahedra.
