Materials Data on Y2MgHg by Materials Project
MgY2Hg crystallizes in the orthorhombic Immm space group. The structure is one-dimensional and consists of two MgY2Hg ribbons oriented in the (0, 1, 0) direction. Mg is bonded in a linear geometry to two equivalent Y atoms. Both Mg–Y bond lengths are 3.37 Å. Y is bonded in a linear geometry to one Mg and one Hg atom. The Y–Hg bond length is 3.01 Å. Hg is bonded in a linear geometry to two equivalent Y atoms.
