Materials Data on NbSiGe by Materials Project
NbGeSi crystallizes in the trigonal P3_212 space group. The structure is three-dimensional. Nb2+ is bonded in a distorted pentagonal planar geometry to five equivalent Si4- atoms. There are a spread of Nb–Si bond distances ranging from 2.66–2.86 Å. Ge2+ is bonded in a 5-coordinate geometry to five equivalent Si4- atoms. There are a spread of Ge–Si bond distances ranging from 2.63–2.88 Å. Si4- is bonded in a 10-coordinate geometry to five equivalent Nb2+ and five equivalent Ge2+ atoms.
