Materials Data on Lu(MnGe)2 by Materials Project
Lu(MnGe)2 crystallizes in the tetragonal I4/mmm space group. The structure is three-dimensional. Lu is bonded in a 8-coordinate geometry to eight equivalent Ge atoms. All Lu–Ge bond lengths are 3.03 Å. Mn is bonded to four equivalent Ge atoms to form a mixture of corner and edge-sharing MnGe4 tetrahedra. All Mn–Ge bond lengths are 2.42 Å. Ge is bonded in a 9-coordinate geometry to four equivalent Lu, four equivalent Mn, and one Ge atom. The Ge–Ge bond length is 2.53 Å.
