Materials Data on YbSnHg by Materials Project
YbHgSn crystallizes in the hexagonal P6_3mc space group. The structure is three-dimensional. Yb is bonded in a 12-coordinate geometry to six equivalent Hg and six equivalent Sn atoms. There are three shorter (3.17 Å) and three longer (3.70 Å) Yb–Hg bond lengths. There are three shorter (3.26 Å) and three longer (3.58 Å) Yb–Sn bond lengths. Hg is bonded in a 10-coordinate geometry to six equivalent Yb and four equivalent Sn atoms. There are three shorter (2.92 Å) and one longer (3.09 Å) Hg–Sn bond lengths. Sn is bonded in a 10-coordinate geometry to six equivalent Yb and four equivalent Hg atoms.
