Abstract

MgCuIn2Ga2O8 is Aluminum carbonitride-derived structured and crystallizes in the monoclinic Pm space group. The structure is three-dimensional. Mg2+ is bonded to five O2- atoms to form MgO5 trigonal bipyramids that share corners with three InO6 octahedra, corners with two equivalent MgO5 trigonal bipyramids, corners with four equivalent GaO5 trigonal bipyramids, an edgeedge with one CuO5 trigonal bipyramid, and edges with two equivalent GaO5 trigonal bipyramids.
