Materials Data on Mg2CdSn by Materials Project
Mg2CdSn crystallizes in the orthorhombic Immm space group. The structure is one-dimensional and consists of two Mg2CdSn ribbons oriented in the (1, 0, 0) direction. Mg is bonded in a linear geometry to one Cd and one Sn atom. The Mg–Cd bond length is 2.82 Å. The Mg–Sn bond length is 2.77 Å. Cd is bonded in a linear geometry to two equivalent Mg atoms. Sn is bonded in a linear geometry to two equivalent Mg atoms.
