Abstract

Sr14Hg51 is beta Plutonium-derived structured and crystallizes in the hexagonal P-6 space group. The structure is three-dimensional. there are five inequivalent Sr sites. In the first Sr site, Sr is bonded in a 8-coordinate geometry to fourteen Hg atoms. There are a spread of Sr–Hg bond distances ranging from 3.41–3.79 Å. In the second Sr site, Sr is bonded in a 8-coordinate geometry to fourteen Hg atoms. There are a spread of Sr–Hg bond distances ranging from 3.42–3.74 Å. In the third Sr site, Sr is bonded in a 2-coordinate geometry to thirteen Hg atoms. There are a spread of Sr–Hg bond distances ranging from 3.40–3.61 Å. In the fourth Sr site, Sr is bonded in a 12-coordinate geometry to fourteen Hg atoms. There are a spread of Sr–Hg bond distances ranging from 3.34–3.69 Å. In the fifth Sr site, Sr is bonded in a 6-coordinate geometry to fifteen Hg atoms. There are a spread of Sr–Hg bond distances ranging from 3.49–3.63 Å. There are thirteen inequivalent Hg sites. In the first Hg site, Hg is bonded in a distorted trigonal planar geometry to three equivalent Sr and eight Hg atoms. There are six shorter (3.23 Å) and two longer (3.24 Å) Hg–Hg bond lengths. In the second Hg site, Hg is bonded in a 3-coordinate geometry to three equivalent Sr and eight Hg atoms. There are two shorter (3.19 Å) and six longer (3.21 Å) Hg–Hg bond lengths. In the third Hg site, Hg is bonded in a 4-coordinate geometry to four Sr and four Hg atoms. There are a spread of Hg–Hg bond distances ranging from 3.12–3.38 Å. In the fourth Hg site, Hg is bonded in a 4-coordinate geometry to four Sr and two Hg atoms. There are one shorter (3.16 Å) and one longer (3.18 Å) Hg–Hg bond lengths. In the fifth Hg site, Hg is bonded in a 3-coordinate geometry to three equivalent Sr and four Hg atoms. All Hg–Hg bond lengths are 3.32 Å. In the sixth Hg site, Hg is bonded in a 11-coordinate geometry to four Sr and seven Hg atoms. There are a spread of Hg–Hg bond distances ranging from 3.06–3.32 Å. In the seventh Hg site, Hg is bonded in a 2-coordinate geometry to four Sr and four Hg atoms. There are a spread of Hg–Hg bond distances ranging from 3.06–3.32 Å. In the eighth Hg site, Hg is bonded in a 10-coordinate geometry to four Sr and six Hg atoms. There are one shorter (3.04 Å) and one longer (3.29 Å) Hg–Hg bond lengths. In the ninth Hg site, Hg is bonded in a 3-coordinate geometry to four Sr and four Hg atoms. There are a spread of Hg–Hg bond distances ranging from 3.24–3.35 Å. In the tenth Hg site, Hg is bonded to four Sr and eight Hg atoms to form distorted face-sharing HgSr4Hg8 cuboctahedra. There are one shorter (2.99 Å) and one longer (3.01 Å) Hg–Hg bond lengths. In the eleventh Hg site, Hg is bonded in a 3-coordinate geometry to three equivalent Sr and seven Hg atoms. In the twelfth Hg site, Hg is bonded in a 12-coordinate geometry to four Sr and eight Hg atoms. In the thirteenth Hg site, Hg is bonded in a 1-coordinate geometry to three Sr and six Hg atoms. Both Hg–Hg bond lengths are 2.97 Å.
