Materials Data on NdCuGe by Materials Project
NdCuGe is hexagonal omega structure-derived structured and crystallizes in the hexagonal P-6m2 space group. The structure is three-dimensional. Nd is bonded to six equivalent Cu and six equivalent Ge atoms to form a mixture of edge and face-sharing NdCu6Ge6 cuboctahedra. All Nd–Cu bond lengths are 3.18 Å. All Nd–Ge bond lengths are 3.18 Å. Cu is bonded in a 3-coordinate geometry to six equivalent Nd and three equivalent Ge atoms. All Cu–Ge bond lengths are 2.44 Å. Ge is bonded in a 3-coordinate geometry to six equivalent Nd and three equivalent Cu atoms.
