Materials Data on Ce2InNi2 by Materials Project
Ce2Ni2In crystallizes in the tetragonal P4/mbm space group. The structure is three-dimensional. Ce is bonded in a 6-coordinate geometry to six equivalent Ni and four equivalent In atoms. There are two shorter (2.81 Å) and four longer (2.93 Å) Ce–Ni bond lengths. All Ce–In bond lengths are 3.33 Å. Ni is bonded in a 9-coordinate geometry to six equivalent Ce, one Ni, and two equivalent In atoms. The Ni–Ni bond length is 2.67 Å. Both Ni–In bond lengths are 2.98 Å. In is bonded to eight equivalent Ce and four equivalent Ni atoms to form a mixture of corner and face-sharing InCe8Ni4 cuboctahedra.
