Mg3Pb is Uranium Silicide-like structured and crystallizes in the hexagonal P6_3/mmc space group. Mg(1) is bonded in a distorted see-saw-like geometry to four equivalent Pb(1) atoms. Pb(1) is bonded to twelve equivalent Mg(1) atoms to form a mixture of corner and face-sharing PbMg12 cuboctahedra.
Mg3Pb is Uranium Silicide-like structured and crystallizes in the hexagonal P6_3/mmc space group. Mg(1) is bonded in a distorted see-saw-like geometry to four equivalent Pb(1) atoms. There are two shorter (3.17 Å) and two longer (3.26 Å) Mg(1)-Pb(1) bond lengths. Pb(1) is bonded to twelve equivalent Mg(1) atoms to form a mixture of corner and face-sharing PbMg12 cuboctahedra.
