Materials Data on Dy2Mn12P7 by Materials Project

Abstract

Dy2Mn12P7 crystallizes in the hexagonal P-6 space group. The structure is three-dimensional. there are two inequivalent Dy sites. In the first Dy site, Dy is bonded in a 6-coordinate geometry to six equivalent P atoms. All Dy–P bond lengths are 2.85 Å. In the second Dy site, Dy is bonded in a 6-coordinate geometry to six equivalent P atoms. All Dy–P bond lengths are 2.85 Å. There are four inequivalent Mn sites. In the first Mn site, Mn is bonded to four P atoms to form a mixture of distorted edge and corner-sharing MnP4 tetrahedra. There are a spread of Mn–P bond distances ranging from 2.33–2.38 Å. In the second Mn site, Mn is bonded to four P atoms to form a mixture of distorted edge and corner-sharing MnP4 tetrahedra. There are a spread of Mn–P bond distances ranging from 2.24–2.30 Å. In the third Mn site, Mn is bonded to four P atoms to form a mixture of edge and corner-sharing MnP4 tetrahedra. There are a spread of Mn–P bond distances ranging from 2.31–2.35 Å. In the fourth Mn site, Mn is bonded in a 5-coordinate geometry to five P atoms. There are a spread of Mn–P bond distances ranging from 2.44–2.57 Å. There are three inequivalent P sites. In the first P site, P is bonded in a 9-coordinate geometry to two equivalent Dy and seven Mn atoms. In the second P site, P is bonded in a 9-coordinate geometry to two equivalent Dy and seven Mn atoms. In the third P site, P is bonded in a 3-coordinate geometry to nine Mn atoms.
