Materials Data on Sc2MnGe by Materials Project
Sc2MnGe crystallizes in the cubic F-43m space group. The structure is three-dimensional. there are two inequivalent Sc sites. In the first Sc site, Sc is bonded to four equivalent Sc and four equivalent Ge atoms to form distorted edge-sharing ScSc4Ge4 tetrahedra. All Sc–Sc bond lengths are 2.80 Å. All Sc–Ge bond lengths are 2.80 Å. In the second Sc site, Sc is bonded in a 4-coordinate geometry to four equivalent Sc, four equivalent Mn, and six equivalent Ge atoms. All Sc–Mn bond lengths are 2.80 Å. All Sc–Ge bond lengths are 3.23 Å. Mn is bonded in a distorted body-centered cubic geometry to four equivalent Sc and four equivalent Ge atoms. All Mn–Ge bond lengths are 2.80 Å. Ge is bonded in a distorted body-centered cubic geometry to ten Sc and four equivalent Mn atoms.
