Materials Data on HgBi3 by Materials Project

Abstract

HgBi3 is Uranium Silicide structured and crystallizes in the cubic Pm-3m space group. The structure is three-dimensional. Hg is bonded to twelve equivalent Bi atoms to form HgBi12 cuboctahedra that share corners with twelve equivalent HgBi12 cuboctahedra, edges with twenty-four equivalent BiHg4Bi8 cuboctahedra, faces with six equivalent HgBi12 cuboctahedra, and faces with twelve equivalent BiHg4Bi8 cuboctahedra. All Hg–Bi bond lengths are 3.50 Å. Bi is bonded to four equivalent Hg and eight equivalent Bi atoms to form BiHg4Bi8 cuboctahedra that share corners with twelve equivalent BiHg4Bi8 cuboctahedra, edges with eight equivalent HgBi12 cuboctahedra, edges with sixteen equivalent BiHg4Bi8 cuboctahedra, faces with four equivalent HgBi12 cuboctahedra, and faces with fourteen equivalent BiHg4Bi8 cuboctahedra. All Bi–Bi bond lengths are 3.50 Å.
