Materials Data on La(FeGe)2 by Materials Project
LaFe2Ge2 crystallizes in the tetragonal I4/mmm space group. The structure is three-dimensional. La is bonded in a 8-coordinate geometry to eight equivalent Fe and eight equivalent Ge atoms. All La–Fe bond lengths are 3.40 Å. All La–Ge bond lengths are 3.20 Å. Fe is bonded to four equivalent La and four equivalent Ge atoms to form a mixture of distorted corner, edge, and face-sharing FeLa4Ge4 tetrahedra. All Fe–Ge bond lengths are 2.45 Å. Ge is bonded in a 9-coordinate geometry to four equivalent La, four equivalent Fe, and one Ge atom. The Ge–Ge bond length is 2.73 Å.
