Materials Data on NaLa by Materials Project

Abstract

LaNa is Magnesium-derived structured and crystallizes in the hexagonal P-6m2 space group. The structure is three-dimensional. Na is bonded to six equivalent Na and six equivalent La atoms to form NaNa6La6 cuboctahedra that share corners with eighteen equivalent NaNa6La6 cuboctahedra, edges with six equivalent NaNa6La6 cuboctahedra, edges with twelve equivalent LaNa6La6 cuboctahedra, faces with eight equivalent NaNa6La6 cuboctahedra, and faces with twelve equivalent LaNa6La6 cuboctahedra. All Na–Na bond lengths are 3.61 Å. All Na–La bond lengths are 3.85 Å. La is bonded to six equivalent Na and six equivalent La atoms to form LaNa6La6 cuboctahedra that share corners with eighteen equivalent LaNa6La6 cuboctahedra, edges with six equivalent LaNa6La6 cuboctahedra, edges with twelve equivalent NaNa6La6 cuboctahedra, faces with eight equivalent LaNa6La6 cuboctahedra, and faces with twelve equivalent NaNa6La6 cuboctahedra. All La–La bond lengths are 3.61 Å.
