LiHg3 crystallizes in the hexagonal P6_3/mmc space group. Li(1) is bonded to twelve equivalent Hg(1) atoms to form a mixture of distorted corner and face-sharing LiHg12 cuboctahedra. Hg(1) is bonded in a 2-coordinate geometry to four equivalent Li(1) atoms.
LiHg3 crystallizes in the hexagonal P6_3/mmc space group. Li(1) is bonded to twelve equivalent Hg(1) atoms to form a mixture of distorted corner and face-sharing LiHg12 cuboctahedra. There are six shorter (2.98 Å) and six longer (3.26 Å) Li(1)-Hg(1) bond lengths. Hg(1) is bonded in a 2-coordinate geometry to four equivalent Li(1) atoms.
