Materials Data on GaAg3 by Materials Project

Abstract

Ag3Ga 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 Ga atoms to form AgGa4Ag8 cuboctahedra that share corners with twelve equivalent AgGa4Ag8 cuboctahedra, edges with eight equivalent GaAg12 cuboctahedra, edges with sixteen equivalent AgGa4Ag8 cuboctahedra, faces with four equivalent GaAg12 cuboctahedra, and faces with fourteen equivalent AgGa4Ag8 cuboctahedra. All Ag–Ag bond lengths are 2.92 Å. All Ag–Ga bond lengths are 2.92 Å. Ga is bonded to twelve equivalent Ag atoms to form GaAg12 cuboctahedra that share corners with twelve equivalent GaAg12 cuboctahedra, edges with twenty-four equivalent AgGa4Ag8 cuboctahedra, faces with six equivalent GaAg12 cuboctahedra, and faces with twelve equivalent AgGa4Ag8 cuboctahedra.
