Materials Data on CsGd by Materials Project
CsGd is alpha Samarium-derived structured and crystallizes in the hexagonal P-6m2 space group. The structure is three-dimensional. Cs is bonded to six equivalent Cs and six equivalent Gd atoms to form CsCs6Gd6 cuboctahedra that share corners with eighteen equivalent CsCs6Gd6 cuboctahedra, edges with six equivalent CsCs6Gd6 cuboctahedra, edges with twelve equivalent GdCs6Gd6 cuboctahedra, faces with eight equivalent CsCs6Gd6 cuboctahedra, and faces with twelve equivalent GdCs6Gd6 cuboctahedra. All Cs–Cs bond lengths are 3.95 Å. All Cs–Gd bond lengths are 4.39 Å. Gd is bonded to six equivalent Cs and six equivalent Gd atoms to form GdCs6Gd6 cuboctahedra that share corners with eighteen equivalent GdCs6Gd6 cuboctahedra, edges with six equivalent GdCs6Gd6 cuboctahedra, edges with twelve equivalent CsCs6Gd6 cuboctahedra, faces with eight equivalent GdCs6Gd6 cuboctahedra, and faces with twelve equivalent CsCs6Gd6 cuboctahedra. All Gd–Gd bond lengths are 3.95 Å.
