Materials Data on Ca2In by Materials Project
Ca2In is Cotunnite structured and crystallizes in the orthorhombic Pnma space group. The structure is three-dimensional. there are two inequivalent Ca sites. In the first Ca site, Ca is bonded in a 5-coordinate geometry to five equivalent In atoms. There are a spread of Ca–In bond distances ranging from 3.40–3.71 Å. In the second Ca site, Ca is bonded to four equivalent In atoms to form a mixture of distorted edge and corner-sharing CaIn4 tetrahedra. There are a spread of Ca–In bond distances ranging from 3.25–3.31 Å. In is bonded in a 9-coordinate geometry to nine Ca atoms.
