Materials Data on Tm3Ga5 by Materials Project
Tm3Ga5 crystallizes in the orthorhombic Pnma space group. The structure is three-dimensional. there are two inequivalent Tm sites. In the first Tm site, Tm is bonded in a 9-coordinate geometry to nine Ga atoms. There are a spread of Tm–Ga bond distances ranging from 2.82–3.26 Å. In the second Tm site, Tm is bonded in a 10-coordinate geometry to ten Ga atoms. There are a spread of Tm–Ga bond distances ranging from 2.94–3.30 Å. There are four inequivalent Ga sites. In the first Ga site, Ga is bonded in a 10-coordinate geometry to six Tm and four Ga atoms. There are a spread of Ga–Ga bond distances ranging from 2.66–2.88 Å. In the second Ga site, Ga is bonded in a 1-coordinate geometry to five Tm and five Ga atoms. There are a spread of Ga–Ga bond distances ranging from 2.67–3.01 Å. In the third Ga site, Ga is bonded in a 10-coordinate geometry to six Tm and four Ga atoms. In the fourth Ga site, Ga is bonded in a 9-coordinate geometry to six Tm and three Ga atoms.
