Materials Data on V6GaSi by Materials Project

V6GaSi crystallizes in the cubic Pm-3 space group. The structure is three-dimensional. V is bonded in a 6-coordinate geometry to two equivalent V, two equivalent Ga, and two equivalent Si atoms. There are one shorter (2.32 Å) and one longer (2.43 Å) V–V bond lengths. Both V–Ga bond lengths are 2.67 Å. Both V–Si bond lengths are 2.64 Å. Ga is bonded to twelve equivalent V atoms to form GaV12 cuboctahedra that share edges with six equivalent GaV12 cuboctahedra and faces with eight equivalent SiV12 cuboctahedra. Si is bonded to twelve equivalent V atoms to form SiV12 cuboctahedra that share edges with six equivalent SiV12 cuboctahedra and faces with eight equivalent GaV12 cuboctahedra.
