Gd3Ag is beta Cu3Ti-like structured and crystallizes in the hexagonal P6_3/mmc space group. Gd(1) is bonded in a distorted see-saw-like geometry to four equivalent Ag(1) atoms. Ag(1) is bonded to twelve equivalent Gd(1) atoms to form a mixture of face and corner-sharing AgGd12 cuboctahedra.
Gd3Ag is beta Cu3Ti-like structured and crystallizes in the hexagonal P6_3/mmc space group. Gd(1) is bonded in a distorted see-saw-like geometry to four equivalent Ag(1) atoms. There are two shorter (3.34 Å) and two longer (3.46 Å) Gd(1)-Ag(1) bond lengths. Ag(1) is bonded to twelve equivalent Gd(1) atoms to form a mixture of face and corner-sharing AgGd12 cuboctahedra.
