Materials Data on PuGa2 by Materials Project
PuGa2 crystallizes in the hexagonal P6/mmm space group. The structure is three-dimensional. Pu is bonded to twelve equivalent Ga atoms to form a mixture of edge and face-sharing PuGa12 cuboctahedra. All Pu–Ga bond lengths are 3.16 Å. Ga is bonded in a 9-coordinate geometry to six equivalent Pu and three equivalent Ga atoms. All Ga–Ga bond lengths are 2.67 Å.
