Materials Data on Rb2Mg by Materials Project
Rb2Mg crystallizes in the orthorhombic Cmcm space group. The structure is one-dimensional and consists of two Rb2Mg ribbons oriented in the (0, 0, 1) direction. Rb is bonded in a 3-coordinate geometry to three equivalent Mg atoms. There are one shorter (3.83 Å) and two longer (4.01 Å) Rb–Mg bond lengths. Mg is bonded in a 8-coordinate geometry to six equivalent Rb and two equivalent Mg atoms. Both Mg–Mg bond lengths are 3.18 Å.
