Materials Data on LiAg3 by Materials Project
LiAg3 is Uranium Silicide-like structured and crystallizes in the tetragonal I4/mmm space group. The structure is three-dimensional. Li is bonded to twelve Ag atoms to form a mixture of face, edge, and corner-sharing LiAg12 cuboctahedra. There are four shorter (2.90 Å) and eight longer (2.91 Å) Li–Ag bond lengths. There are two inequivalent Ag sites. In the first Ag site, Ag is bonded to four equivalent Li atoms to form a mixture of distorted edge and corner-sharing AgLi4 cuboctahedra. In the second Ag site, Ag is bonded in a distorted square co-planar geometry to four equivalent Li atoms.
