Materials Data on CeZn2Ni3 by Materials Project
CeNi3Zn2 crystallizes in the hexagonal P6/mmm space group. The structure is three-dimensional. Ce is bonded in a 6-coordinate geometry to twelve equivalent Ni and six equivalent Zn atoms. All Ce–Ni bond lengths are 3.25 Å. All Ce–Zn bond lengths are 3.00 Å. Ni is bonded to four equivalent Ce and four equivalent Zn atoms to form a mixture of distorted corner, edge, and face-sharing NiCe4Zn4 cuboctahedra. All Ni–Zn bond lengths are 2.46 Å. Zn is bonded in a 9-coordinate geometry to three equivalent Ce and six equivalent Ni atoms.
