Materials Data on Mg3Re by Materials Project
Mg3Re is Uranium Silicide structured and crystallizes in the cubic Pm-3m space group. The structure is three-dimensional. Mg is bonded to eight equivalent Mg and four equivalent Re atoms to form distorted MgMg8Re4 cuboctahedra that share corners with twelve equivalent MgMg8Re4 cuboctahedra, edges with eight equivalent ReMg12 cuboctahedra, edges with sixteen equivalent MgMg8Re4 cuboctahedra, faces with four equivalent ReMg12 cuboctahedra, and faces with fourteen equivalent MgMg8Re4 cuboctahedra. All Mg–Mg bond lengths are 2.94 Å. All Mg–Re bond lengths are 2.94 Å. Re is bonded to twelve equivalent Mg atoms to form ReMg12 cuboctahedra that share corners with twelve equivalent ReMg12 cuboctahedra, edges with twenty-four equivalent MgMg8Re4 cuboctahedra, faces with six equivalent ReMg12 cuboctahedra, and faces with twelve equivalent MgMg8Re4 cuboctahedra.
