Materials Data on MgIn by Materials Project
MgIn is Tetraauricupride structured and crystallizes in the tetragonal P4/mmm space group. The structure is three-dimensional. Mg is bonded to four equivalent Mg and eight equivalent In atoms to form distorted MgMg4In8 cuboctahedra that share corners with twelve equivalent MgMg4In8 cuboctahedra, edges with eight equivalent MgMg4In8 cuboctahedra, edges with sixteen equivalent InMg8In4 cuboctahedra, faces with eight equivalent InMg8In4 cuboctahedra, and faces with ten equivalent MgMg4In8 cuboctahedra. All Mg–Mg bond lengths are 3.27 Å. All Mg–In bond lengths are 3.20 Å.
