Materials Data on CdAg3 by Materials Project

Abstract

Ag3Cd 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 Cd atoms to form AgCd4Ag8 cuboctahedra that share corners with twelve equivalent AgCd4Ag8 cuboctahedra, edges with eight equivalent CdAg12 cuboctahedra, edges with sixteen equivalent AgCd4Ag8 cuboctahedra, faces with four equivalent CdAg12 cuboctahedra, and faces with fourteen equivalent AgCd4Ag8 cuboctahedra. All Ag–Ag bond lengths are 2.98 Å. All Ag–Cd bond lengths are 2.98 Å. Cd is bonded to twelve equivalent Ag atoms to form CdAg12 cuboctahedra that share corners with twelve equivalent CdAg12 cuboctahedra, edges with twenty-four equivalent AgCd4Ag8 cuboctahedra, faces with six equivalent CdAg12 cuboctahedra, and faces with twelve equivalent AgCd4Ag8 cuboctahedra.
