Materials Data on Mg2ZnCd by Materials Project
Mg2CdZn crystallizes in the orthorhombic Immm space group. The structure is one-dimensional and consists of two Mg2CdZn ribbons oriented in the (1, 0, 0) direction. Mg is bonded in a linear geometry to one Cd and one Zn atom. The Mg–Cd bond length is 2.85 Å. The Mg–Zn bond length is 2.73 Å. Cd is bonded in a linear geometry to two equivalent Mg atoms. Zn is bonded in a linear geometry to two equivalent Mg atoms.
