Materials Data on Ag3Hg by Materials Project

Abstract

Ag3Hg is Uranium Silicide structured and crystallizes in the cubic Pm-3m space group. The structure is three-dimensional. Ag is bonded to eight equivalent Ag and four equivalent Hg atoms to form AgAg8Hg4 cuboctahedra that share corners with twelve equivalent AgAg8Hg4 cuboctahedra, edges with eight equivalent HgAg12 cuboctahedra, edges with sixteen equivalent AgAg8Hg4 cuboctahedra, faces with four equivalent HgAg12 cuboctahedra, and faces with fourteen equivalent AgAg8Hg4 cuboctahedra. All Ag–Ag bond lengths are 3.00 Å. All Ag–Hg bond lengths are 3.00 Å. Hg is bonded to twelve equivalent Ag atoms to form HgAg12 cuboctahedra that share corners with twelve equivalent HgAg12 cuboctahedra, edges with twenty-four equivalent AgAg8Hg4 cuboctahedra, faces with six equivalent HgAg12 cuboctahedra, and faces with twelve equivalent AgAg8Hg4 cuboctahedra.
