Materials Data on Eu(AlGa)2 by Materials Project
EuAl2Ga2 crystallizes in the tetragonal I4/mmm space group. The structure is three-dimensional. Eu is bonded in a 8-coordinate geometry to eight equivalent Ga and eight equivalent Al atoms. All Eu–Ga bond lengths are 3.31 Å. All Eu–Al bond lengths are 3.50 Å. Ga is bonded in a 9-coordinate geometry to four equivalent Eu, one Ga, and four equivalent Al atoms. The Ga–Ga bond length is 2.51 Å. All Ga–Al bond lengths are 2.63 Å. Al is bonded to four equivalent Eu and four equivalent Ga atoms to form a mixture of distorted corner, edge, and face-sharing AlEu4Ga4 tetrahedra.
