Materials Data on YbZnGe by Materials Project
YbZnGe crystallizes in the monoclinic C2/m space group. The structure is three-dimensional. Yb is bonded in a 12-coordinate geometry to six equivalent Zn and six equivalent Ge atoms. There are a spread of Yb–Zn bond distances ranging from 3.08–3.24 Å. There are a spread of Yb–Ge bond distances ranging from 3.05–3.25 Å. Zn is bonded in a 10-coordinate geometry to six equivalent Yb, one Zn, and three equivalent Ge atoms. The Zn–Zn bond length is 2.57 Å. There are two shorter (2.59 Å) and one longer (2.91 Å) Zn–Ge bond lengths. Ge is bonded in a 10-coordinate geometry to six equivalent Yb, three equivalent Zn, and one Ge atom. The Ge–Ge bond length is 2.59 Å.
