Materials Data on Pr(MnSi)2 by Materials Project
PrMn2Si2 crystallizes in the tetragonal I4/mmm space group. The structure is three-dimensional. Pr3+ is bonded in a body-centered cubic geometry to eight equivalent Si4- atoms. All Pr–Si bond lengths are 3.12 Å. Mn+2.50+ is bonded to four equivalent Si4- atoms to form a mixture of edge and corner-sharing MnSi4 tetrahedra. All Mn–Si bond lengths are 2.38 Å. Si4- is bonded in a 9-coordinate geometry to four equivalent Pr3+, four equivalent Mn+2.50+, and one Si4- atom. The Si–Si bond length is 2.66 Å.
