Materials Data on Li2ZnGe by Materials Project

Abstract

Li2ZnGe crystallizes in the cubic F-43m space group. The structure is three-dimensional. there are two inequivalent Li sites. In the first Li site, Li is bonded to four equivalent Ge atoms to form distorted corner-sharing LiGe4 tetrahedra. All Li–Ge bond lengths are 2.67 Å. In the second Li site, Li is bonded to four equivalent Zn atoms to form distorted corner-sharing LiZn4 tetrahedra. All Li–Zn bond lengths are 2.67 Å. Zn is bonded in a distorted body-centered cubic geometry to four equivalent Li and four equivalent Ge atoms. All Zn–Ge bond lengths are 2.67 Å. Ge is bonded in a distorted body-centered cubic geometry to four equivalent Li and four equivalent Zn atoms.
