description: Mg7Ag12Ga crystallizes in the trigonal R3m space group. The structure is three-dimensional. there are seven inequivalent Mg sites. In the first Mg site, Mg is bonded in a body-centered cubic geometry to eight Ag atoms. All Mg–Ag bond lengths are 2.87 Å. In the second Mg site, Mg is bonded in a distorted body-centered cubic geometry to fourteen Ag atoms. There are a spread of Mg–Ag bond distances ranging from 2.87–3.31 Å. In the third Mg site, Mg is bonded in a distorted body-centered cubic geometry to eleven Ag atoms. There are a spread of Mg–Ag bond distances ranging from 2.86–3.31 Å. In the fourth Mg site, Mg is bonded in a body-centered cubic geometry to eight Ag atoms. All Mg–Ag bond lengths are 2.87 Å. In the fifth Mg site, Mg is bonded in a distorted body-centered cubic geometry to eleven Ag atoms. There are a spread of Mg–Ag bond distances ranging from 2.86–3.30 Å. In the sixth Mg site, Mg is bonded in a body-centered cubic geometry to eight Ag atoms. There are one shorter (2.86 Å) and seven longer (2.87 Å) Mg–Ag bond lengths. In the seventh Mg site, Mg is bonded in a body-centered cubic geometry to eight Ag atoms. There are seven shorter (2.87 Å) and one longer (2.88 Å) Mg–Ag bond lengths.
