Materials Data on Gd3Ag by Materials Project
Gd3Ag is beta Cu3Ti-like structured and crystallizes in the hexagonal P6_3/mmc space group. The structure is three-dimensional. Gd is bonded in a distorted see-saw-like geometry to four equivalent Ag atoms. There are two shorter (3.34 Å) and two longer (3.46 Å) Gd–Ag bond lengths. Ag is bonded to twelve equivalent Gd atoms to form a mixture of corner and face-sharing AgGd12 cuboctahedra.
