Materials Data on Mg3HgAu2 by Materials Project
Mg3Au2Hg is Heusler-like structured and crystallizes in the tetragonal P4/mmm space group. The structure is three-dimensional. there are two inequivalent Mg sites. In the first Mg site, Mg is bonded in a distorted body-centered cubic geometry to four equivalent Au and four equivalent Hg atoms. All Mg–Au bond lengths are 2.87 Å. All Mg–Hg bond lengths are 3.00 Å. In the second Mg site, Mg is bonded in a body-centered cubic geometry to eight equivalent Au atoms. All Mg–Au bond lengths are 2.89 Å. Au is bonded in a body-centered cubic geometry to eight Mg atoms. Hg is bonded in a distorted body-centered cubic geometry to eight equivalent Mg atoms.
