Materials Data on Y2MgZn by Materials Project
MgY2Zn1 crystallizes in the orthorhombic Immm space group. The structure is one-dimensional and consists of two MgY2Zn1 ribbons oriented in the (1, 0, 0) direction. Mg is bonded in a linear geometry to two equivalent Y atoms. Both Mg–Y bond lengths are 3.23 Å. Y is bonded in a linear geometry to one Mg and one Zn atom. The Y–Zn bond length is 2.88 Å. Zn is bonded in a linear geometry to two equivalent Y atoms.
