Materials Data on In3Hg by Materials Project
HgIn3 crystallizes in the hexagonal P6_3/mmc space group. The structure is three-dimensional. Hg is bonded in a distorted hexagonal planar geometry to twelve equivalent In atoms. There are six shorter (3.29 Å) and six longer (3.49 Å) Hg–In bond lengths. In is bonded to four equivalent Hg and eight equivalent In atoms to form a mixture of distorted corner, edge, and face-sharing InIn8Hg4 cuboctahedra. There are a spread of In–In bond distances ranging from 3.27–3.50 Å.
