Materials Data on Tm5Ga3 by Materials Project
Tm5Ga3 crystallizes in the hexagonal P6_3/mcm space group. The structure is three-dimensional. there are two inequivalent Tm sites. In the first Tm site, Tm is bonded in a 6-coordinate geometry to six equivalent Ga atoms. All Tm–Ga bond lengths are 3.06 Å. In the second Tm site, Tm is bonded in a 3-coordinate geometry to five equivalent Ga atoms. There are a spread of Tm–Ga bond distances ranging from 2.95–3.50 Å. Ga is bonded in a 9-coordinate geometry to nine Tm atoms.
