title: Materials Data on HfMg14CrO16 by Materials Project

description: Mg14HfCrO16 is Molybdenum Carbide MAX Phase-derived structured and crystallizes in the tetragonal P4/mmm space group. The structure is three-dimensional. there are four inequivalent Mg sites. In the first Mg site, Mg is bonded to six O atoms to form MgO6 octahedra that share corners with two equivalent MgO6 octahedra, corners with two equivalent HfO6 octahedra, corners with two equivalent CrO6 octahedra, and edges with twelve MgO6 octahedra. The corner-sharing octahedral tilt angles are 0°. There are a spread of Mg–O bond distances ranging from 2.03–2.19 Å. In the second Mg site, Mg is bonded to six O atoms to form MgO6 octahedra that share corners with six MgO6 octahedra, edges with two equivalent CrO6 octahedra, and edges with ten MgO6 octahedra. The corner-sharing octahedra tilt angles range from 0–8°. There are a spread of Mg–O bond distances ranging from 2.16–2.19 Å. In the third Mg site, Mg is bonded to six O atoms to form MgO6 octahedra that share corners with six MgO6 octahedra, edges with two equivalent HfO6 octahedra, and edges with ten MgO6 octahedra. The corner-sharing octahedra tilt angles range from 0–5°. There are a spread of Mg–O bond distances ranging from 2.09–2.26 Å. In the fourth Mg site, Mg is bonded to six O atoms to form MgO6 octahedra that share corners with six equivalent MgO6 octahedra, an edgeedge with one HfO6 octahedra, an edgeedge with one CrO6 octahedra, and edges with ten MgO6 octahedra. The corner-sharing octahedra tilt angles range from 4–12°. There are a spread of Mg–O bond distances ranging from 2.12–2.24 Å. Hf is bonded to six O atoms to form HfO6 octahedra that share corners with two equivalent HfO6 octahedra, corners with four equivalent MgO6 octahedra, and edges with twelve MgO6 octahedra. The corner-sharing octahedral tilt angles are 0°. There are two shorter (2.15 Å) and four longer (2.16 Å) Hf–O bond lengths. Cr is bonded to six O atoms to form CrO6 octahedra that share corners with two equivalent CrO6 octahedra, corners with four equivalent MgO6 octahedra, and edges with twelve MgO6 octahedra. The corner-sharing octahedral tilt angles are 0°. There are two shorter (2.15 Å) and four longer (2.32 Å) Cr–O bond lengths. There are seven inequivalent O sites. In the first O site, O is bonded to five Mg and one Cr atom to form a mixture of edge and corner-sharing OMg5Cr octahedra. The corner-sharing octahedra tilt angles range from 0–8°. In the second O site, O is bonded to five Mg and one Hf atom to form a mixture of edge and corner-sharing OHfMg5 octahedra. The corner-sharing octahedra tilt angles range from 0–8°. In the third O site, O is bonded to six Mg atoms to form OMg6 octahedra that share corners with six equivalent OMg6 octahedra and edges with twelve OMg5Cr octahedra. The corner-sharing octahedra tilt angles range from 1–6°. In the fourth O site, O is bonded to four equivalent Mg and two equivalent Cr atoms to form OMg4Cr2 octahedra that share corners with six OMg4Cr2 octahedra and edges with twelve OMg5Cr octahedra. The corner-sharing octahedral tilt angles are 0°. In the fifth O site, O is bonded to six Mg atoms to form OMg6 octahedra that share corners with six OMg4Cr2 octahedra and edges with twelve OMg5Cr octahedra. The corner-sharing octahedral tilt angles are 0°. In the sixth O site, O is bonded to four equivalent Mg and two equivalent Hf atoms to form OHf2Mg4 octahedra that share corners with six OMg6 octahedra and edges with twelve OHfMg5 octahedra. The corner-sharing octahedral tilt angles are 0°. In the seventh O site, O is bonded to five Mg and one Cr atom to form a mixture of edge and corner-sharing OMg5Cr octahedra. The corner-sharing octahedra tilt angles range from 0–8°. There are two shorter (2.12 Å) and two longer (2.16 Å) O–Mg bond lengths.
