Materials Data on LiCaHg2 by Materials Project
LiCaHg2 crystallizes in the orthorhombic Immm space group. The structure is one-dimensional and consists of two LiCaHg2 ribbons oriented in the (1, 0, 0) direction. Li is bonded in a linear geometry to two equivalent Hg atoms. Both Li–Hg bond lengths are 2.77 Å. Ca is bonded in a linear geometry to two equivalent Hg atoms. Both Ca–Hg bond lengths are 3.37 Å. Hg is bonded in a linear geometry to one Li and one Ca atom.
