Materials Data on Ti6Ge5 by Materials Project
Ti6Ge5 crystallizes in the orthorhombic Ibam space group. The structure is three-dimensional. there are three inequivalent Ti sites. In the first Ti site, Ti is bonded to seven Ge atoms to form a mixture of distorted edge, face, and corner-sharing TiGe7 pentagonal bipyramids. There are a spread of Ti–Ge bond distances ranging from 2.63–2.95 Å. In the second Ti site, Ti is bonded in a 7-coordinate geometry to seven Ge atoms. There are a spread of Ti–Ge bond distances ranging from 2.50–2.86 Å. In the third Ti site, Ti is bonded in a 6-coordinate geometry to six Ge atoms. There are a spread of Ti–Ge bond distances ranging from 2.59–2.74 Å. There are three inequivalent Ge sites. In the first Ge site, Ge is bonded in a 10-coordinate geometry to eight Ti and two equivalent Ge atoms. Both Ge–Ge bond lengths are 2.62 Å. In the second Ge site, Ge is bonded in a 9-coordinate geometry to nine Ti atoms. In the third Ge site, Ge is bonded in a 7-coordinate geometry to seven Ti atoms.
