Materials Data on LiCd2Hg by Materials Project
LiHgCd2 crystallizes in the orthorhombic Immm space group. The structure is one-dimensional and consists of two LiHgCd2 ribbons oriented in the (1, 0, 0) direction. Li is bonded in a linear geometry to two equivalent Cd atoms. Both Li–Cd bond lengths are 2.81 Å. Hg is bonded in a linear geometry to two equivalent Cd atoms. Both Hg–Cd bond lengths are 3.01 Å. Cd is bonded in a linear geometry to one Li and one Hg atom.
