Materials Data on CeAgGe by Materials Project
CeAgGe crystallizes in the hexagonal P6_3mc space group. The structure is three-dimensional. Ce is bonded to six equivalent Ag and six equivalent Ge atoms to form a mixture of distorted edge and face-sharing CeAg6Ge6 cuboctahedra. There are three shorter (3.17 Å) and three longer (3.33 Å) Ce–Ag bond lengths. There are three shorter (3.13 Å) and three longer (3.37 Å) Ce–Ge bond lengths. Ag is bonded in a 9-coordinate geometry to six equivalent Ce and three equivalent Ge atoms. All Ag–Ge bond lengths are 2.66 Å. Ge is bonded in a 9-coordinate geometry to six equivalent Ce and three equivalent Ag atoms.
