Materials Data on YHg2Au by Materials Project
YAuHg2 crystallizes in the orthorhombic Immm space group. The structure is one-dimensional and consists of two YAuHg2 ribbons oriented in the (1, 0, 0) direction. Y is bonded in a linear geometry to two equivalent Hg atoms. Both Y–Hg bond lengths are 3.12 Å. Au is bonded in a linear geometry to two equivalent Hg atoms. Both Au–Hg bond lengths are 2.72 Å. Hg is bonded in a linear geometry to one Y and one Au atom.
