Materials Data on NdSiAg by Materials Project
NdAgSi crystallizes in the hexagonal P6_3/mmc space group. The structure is three-dimensional. Nd3+ is bonded to six equivalent Si4- atoms to form a mixture of edge, face, and corner-sharing NdSi6 octahedra. The corner-sharing octahedral tilt angles are 47°. All Nd–Si bond lengths are 3.24 Å. Ag1+ is bonded in a trigonal planar geometry to three equivalent Si4- atoms. All Ag–Si bond lengths are 2.57 Å. Si4- is bonded in a 9-coordinate geometry to six equivalent Nd3+ and three equivalent Ag1+ atoms.
