Materials Data on MgCdHg2 by Materials Project
MgHg2Cd crystallizes in the orthorhombic Immm space group. The structure is one-dimensional and consists of two MgHg2Cd ribbons oriented in the (0, 1, 0) direction. Mg is bonded in a linear geometry to two equivalent Hg atoms. Both Mg–Hg bond lengths are 3.36 Å. Hg is bonded in a linear geometry to one Mg and one Cd atom. The Hg–Cd bond length is 3.40 Å. Cd is bonded in a linear geometry to two equivalent Hg atoms.
