Materials Data on Mg2Ag by Materials Project
Mg2Ag crystallizes in the orthorhombic Cmcm space group. The structure is two-dimensional and consists of two Mg2Ag sheets oriented in the (0, 1, 0) direction. Mg is bonded in a 4-coordinate geometry to four equivalent Ag atoms. There are a spread of Mg–Ag bond distances ranging from 2.87–2.92 Å. Ag is bonded in a body-centered cubic geometry to eight equivalent Mg atoms.
