The new ternary gallide MgMnGa (magnesium tetramanganese octadecagallium) was synthesized and its crystal structure determined by means of single-crystal X-ray diffraction. The MgMnGa structure can be described as that of a three core-shell cluster compound. The Mg atoms are surrounded by 16 adjacent Ga atoms, [MgGa], and the respective coordination polyhedron is an octadecahedron. This [MgGa] octadecahedron is encapsulated inside a [Ga] icohexahedron, which is in turn encapsulated inside a [Ga] pentacontaoctahedron. As a result, a three core-shell cluster, [MgGa@Ga@Ga], is identified. Electronic structure calculations were performed by means of the TB-LMTO-ASA program and additionally confirm the existence of the core-shell packing of the clusters.
新型三元镓化物MgMnGa(镁四锰十八镓)通过单晶X射线衍射法合成并确定了其晶体结构。MgMnGa结构可描述为一种三核壳簇化合物的结构。Mg原子被16个相邻的Ga原子[MgGa]包围,其各自的配位多面体为十八面体。这个[MgGa]十八面体被封装在一个[Ga]二十六面体中,而这个[Ga]二十六面体又被封装在一个[Ga]五十面体中。结果,确定了一个三核壳簇[MgGa@Ga@Ga]。通过TB-LMTO-ASA程序进行了电子结构计算,进一步证实了簇的核壳堆积的存在。
