Materials Data on Nd2InNi2 by Materials Project

Abstract

Nd2Ni2In crystallizes in the orthorhombic Pbam space group. The structure is three-dimensional. Nd is bonded in a 6-coordinate geometry to six equivalent Ni and four equivalent In atoms. There are two shorter (2.92 Å) and four longer (2.97 Å) Nd–Ni bond lengths. There are two shorter (3.35 Å) and two longer (3.42 Å) Nd–In bond lengths. Ni is bonded in a 9-coordinate geometry to six equivalent Nd, one Ni, and two equivalent In atoms. The Ni–Ni bond length is 2.53 Å. There are one shorter (2.95 Å) and one longer (3.15 Å) Ni–In bond lengths. In is bonded to eight equivalent Nd and four equivalent Ni atoms to form a mixture of face and corner-sharing InNd8Ni4 cuboctahedra.
