Materials Data on CaNi2 by Materials Project
CaNi2 is Cubic Laves structured and crystallizes in the cubic Fd-3m space group. The structure is three-dimensional. Ca is bonded in a 12-coordinate geometry to twelve equivalent Ni atoms. All Ca–Ni bond lengths are 2.97 Å. Ni is bonded to six equivalent Ca and six equivalent Ni atoms to form a mixture of edge, face, and corner-sharing NiCa6Ni6 cuboctahedra. All Ni–Ni bond lengths are 2.54 Å.
