Materials Data on NaHg by Materials Project
NaHg is alpha iridium vanadium-like structured and crystallizes in the orthorhombic Cmcm space group. The structure is three-dimensional. there are two inequivalent Na sites. In the first Na site, Na is bonded in a 8-coordinate geometry to eight equivalent Hg atoms. There are a spread of Na–Hg bond distances ranging from 3.23–3.29 Å. In the second Na site, Na is bonded in a 8-coordinate geometry to eight equivalent Hg atoms. There are a spread of Na–Hg bond distances ranging from 3.18–3.44 Å. Hg is bonded in a 8-coordinate geometry to eight Na atoms.
