Materials Data on ThGa by Materials Project
ThGa crystallizes in the orthorhombic Pnma space group. The structure is three-dimensional. there are two inequivalent Th sites. In the first Th site, Th is bonded in a 7-coordinate geometry to seven Ga atoms. There are a spread of Th–Ga bond distances ranging from 3.13–3.31 Å. In the second Th site, Th is bonded in a 7-coordinate geometry to seven Ga atoms. There are a spread of Th–Ga bond distances ranging from 3.12–3.31 Å. There are two inequivalent Ga sites. In the first Ga site, Ga is bonded in a 9-coordinate geometry to seven Th and two equivalent Ga atoms. Both Ga–Ga bond lengths are 2.65 Å. In the second Ga site, Ga is bonded in a 9-coordinate geometry to seven Th and two equivalent Ga atoms.
