Materials Data on Zr3Hg by Materials Project
Zr3Hg crystallizes in the cubic Pm-3n space group. The structure is three-dimensional. Zr is bonded in a 6-coordinate geometry to two equivalent Zr and four equivalent Hg atoms. Both Zr–Zr bond lengths are 2.80 Å. All Zr–Hg bond lengths are 3.14 Å. Hg is bonded to twelve equivalent Zr atoms to form a mixture of face and edge-sharing HgZr12 cuboctahedra.
