Materials Data on Ce(NiSb)2 by Materials Project
CeNi2Sb2 crystallizes in the tetragonal I4/mmm space group. The structure is three-dimensional. Ce3+ is bonded to eight equivalent Sb3- atoms to form distorted edge-sharing CeSb8 hexagonal bipyramids. All Ce–Sb bond lengths are 3.31 Å. Ni+1.50+ is bonded in a 4-coordinate geometry to four equivalent Sb3- atoms. All Ni–Sb bond lengths are 2.57 Å. Sb3- is bonded in a 8-coordinate geometry to four equivalent Ce3+ and four equivalent Ni+1.50+ atoms.
