Materials Data on Mg2ZnHg by Materials Project
Mg2HgZn crystallizes in the orthorhombic Immm space group. The structure is one-dimensional and consists of two Mg2HgZn ribbons oriented in the (0, 1, 0) direction. Mg is bonded in a linear geometry to one Hg and one Zn atom. The Mg–Hg bond length is 2.99 Å. The Mg–Zn bond length is 2.96 Å. Hg is bonded in a linear geometry to two equivalent Mg atoms. Zn is bonded in a linear geometry to two equivalent Mg atoms.
