LiMg crystallizes in the monoclinic C2/m space group. Li(1) is bonded in a distorted body-centered cubic geometry to two equivalent Li(1) and six equivalent Mg(1) atoms. Mg(1) is bonded in a 6-coordinate geometry to six equivalent Li(1) atoms.
LiMg crystallizes in the monoclinic C2/m space group. Li(1) is bonded in a distorted body-centered cubic geometry to two equivalent Li(1) and six equivalent Mg(1) atoms. Both Li(1)-Li(1) bond lengths are 2.83 Å. There are two shorter (2.95 Å) and four longer (2.98 Å) Li(1)-Mg(1) bond lengths. Mg(1) is bonded in a 6-coordinate geometry to six equivalent Li(1) atoms.
