Materials Data on Ce2Ni2Sn by Materials Project
Ce2Ni2Sn crystallizes in the orthorhombic Immm space group. The structure is three-dimensional. Ce is bonded in a 10-coordinate geometry to six equivalent Ni and four equivalent Sn atoms. There are two shorter (2.95 Å) and four longer (2.99 Å) Ce–Ni bond lengths. There are two shorter (3.26 Å) and two longer (3.34 Å) Ce–Sn bond lengths. Ni is bonded in a 9-coordinate geometry to six equivalent Ce, one Ni, and two equivalent Sn atoms. The Ni–Ni bond length is 2.46 Å. Both Ni–Sn bond lengths are 2.75 Å. Sn is bonded to eight equivalent Ce and four equivalent Ni atoms to form a mixture of edge and face-sharing SnCe8Ni4 cuboctahedra.
