Materials Data on CeAl2Ni by Materials Project
CeNiAl2 crystallizes in the orthorhombic Cmcm space group. The structure is three-dimensional. Ce is bonded in a 1-coordinate geometry to three equivalent Ni and ten equivalent Al atoms. There are one shorter (2.83 Å) and two longer (3.09 Å) Ce–Ni bond lengths. There are a spread of Ce–Al bond distances ranging from 3.10–3.33 Å. Ni is bonded in a 9-coordinate geometry to three equivalent Ce and six equivalent Al atoms. There are two shorter (2.48 Å) and four longer (2.54 Å) Ni–Al bond lengths. Al is bonded in a 3-coordinate geometry to five equivalent Ce and three equivalent Ni atoms.
