Materials Data on BaMgSn by Materials Project
BaMgSn is Matlockite structured and crystallizes in the tetragonal P4/nmm space group. The structure is three-dimensional. Ba is bonded to four equivalent Ba, four equivalent Mg, and four equivalent Sn atoms to form a mixture of distorted corner and face-sharing BaBa4Mg4Sn4 cuboctahedra. All Ba–Ba bond lengths are 3.54 Å. All Ba–Mg bond lengths are 3.93 Å. All Ba–Sn bond lengths are 3.58 Å. Mg is bonded in a single-bond geometry to four equivalent Ba and one Sn atom. The Mg–Sn bond length is 2.85 Å. Sn is bonded in a 1-coordinate geometry to four equivalent Ba and one Mg atom.
