Materials Data on ErInNi4 by Materials Project

Abstract

ErNi4In crystallizes in the cubic F-43m space group. The structure is three-dimensional. Er is bonded in a 12-coordinate geometry to twelve equivalent Ni and four equivalent In atoms. All Er–Ni bond lengths are 2.91 Å. All Er–In bond lengths are 3.04 Å. Ni is bonded to three equivalent Er, six equivalent Ni, and three equivalent In atoms to form a mixture of corner, edge, and face-sharing NiEr3In3Ni6 cuboctahedra. There are three shorter (2.46 Å) and three longer (2.50 Å) Ni–Ni bond lengths. All Ni–In bond lengths are 2.91 Å. In is bonded in a 4-coordinate geometry to four equivalent Er and twelve equivalent Ni atoms.
