Materials Data on HgPRh by Materials Project
RhHgP is half-Heusler structured and crystallizes in the cubic F-43m space group. The structure is three-dimensional. Rh is bonded to four equivalent Hg atoms to form distorted RhHg4 tetrahedra that share corners with four equivalent PHg4 tetrahedra, corners with twelve equivalent RhHg4 tetrahedra, and edges with six equivalent PHg4 tetrahedra. All Rh–Hg bond lengths are 2.70 Å. Hg is bonded in a body-centered cubic geometry to four equivalent Rh and four equivalent P atoms. All Hg–P bond lengths are 2.70 Å. P is bonded to four equivalent Hg atoms to form distorted PHg4 tetrahedra that share corners with four equivalent RhHg4 tetrahedra, corners with twelve equivalent PHg4 tetrahedra, and edges with six equivalent RhHg4 tetrahedra.
