Materials Data on CeSiAg by Materials Project
CeAgSi crystallizes in the hexagonal P-6m2 space group. The structure is three-dimensional. Ce3+ is bonded to six equivalent Si4- atoms to form a mixture of distorted face, edge, and corner-sharing CeSi6 cuboctahedra. All Ce–Si bond lengths are 3.25 Å. Ag1+ is bonded in a trigonal planar geometry to three equivalent Si4- atoms. All Ag–Si bond lengths are 2.53 Å. Si4- is bonded in a 9-coordinate geometry to six equivalent Ce3+ and three equivalent Ag1+ atoms.
