Materials Data on DyAl2Ni by Materials Project
DyNiAl2 crystallizes in the orthorhombic Cmcm space group. The structure is three-dimensional. Dy is bonded in a 1-coordinate geometry to three equivalent Ni and ten equivalent Al atoms. There are one shorter (2.80 Å) and two longer (3.03 Å) Dy–Ni bond lengths. There are a spread of Dy–Al bond distances ranging from 3.04–3.27 Å. Ni is bonded in a 9-coordinate geometry to three equivalent Dy and six equivalent Al atoms. There are two shorter (2.46 Å) and four longer (2.49 Å) Ni–Al bond lengths. Al is bonded in a 3-coordinate geometry to five equivalent Dy and three equivalent Ni atoms.
