Materials Data on Zr2Ga3 by Materials Project
Ga3Zr2 crystallizes in the orthorhombic Fdd2 space group. The structure is three-dimensional. Zr is bonded in a 7-coordinate geometry to nine Ga atoms. There are a spread of Zr–Ga bond distances ranging from 2.82–3.19 Å. There are two inequivalent Ga sites. In the first Ga site, Ga is bonded in a 10-coordinate geometry to six equivalent Zr and four equivalent Ga atoms. There are two shorter (2.63 Å) and two longer (2.72 Å) Ga–Ga bond lengths. In the second Ga site, Ga is bonded in a 10-coordinate geometry to six equivalent Zr and four Ga atoms. Both Ga–Ga bond lengths are 2.77 Å.
