Materials Data on LaMnGe by Materials Project
LaMnGe is Matlockite structured and crystallizes in the tetragonal P4/nmm space group. The structure is three-dimensional. La is bonded in a 9-coordinate geometry to four equivalent Mn and five equivalent Ge atoms. All La–Mn bond lengths are 3.17 Å. There are four shorter (3.22 Å) and one longer (3.38 Å) La–Ge bond lengths. Mn is bonded to four equivalent La and four equivalent Ge atoms to form a mixture of distorted face and edge-sharing MnLa4Ge4 tetrahedra. All Mn–Ge bond lengths are 2.61 Å. Ge is bonded in a 9-coordinate geometry to five equivalent La and four equivalent Mn atoms.
