Materials Data on Cs2MgH4 by Materials Project
Cs2MgH4 is (La,Ba)CuO4 structured and crystallizes in the tetragonal I4/mmm space group. The structure is three-dimensional. Cs1+ is bonded in a distorted q6 geometry to nine H1- atoms. There are eight shorter (3.06 Å) and one longer (3.36 Å) Cs–H bond lengths. Mg2+ is bonded to six H1- atoms to form corner-sharing MgH6 octahedra. The corner-sharing octahedral tilt angles are 0°. There are two shorter (1.96 Å) and four longer (2.16 Å) Mg–H bond lengths. There are two inequivalent H1- sites. In the first H1- site, H1- is bonded in a distorted single-bond geometry to five equivalent Cs1+ and one Mg2+ atom. In the second H1- site, H1- is bonded in a distorted linear geometry to four equivalent Cs1+ and two equivalent Mg2+ atoms.
