Materials Data on Al4Ni3 by Materials Project
Al4Ni3 crystallizes in the cubic Ia-3d space group. The structure is three-dimensional. Ni is bonded in a body-centered cubic geometry to eight Al atoms. There are a spread of Ni–Al bond distances ranging from 2.44–2.53 Å. There are two inequivalent Al sites. In the first Al site, Al is bonded in a 6-coordinate geometry to six equivalent Ni atoms. In the second Al site, Al is bonded in a 6-coordinate geometry to six equivalent Ni atoms.
