Materials Data on Gd(NiSb)2 by Materials Project
GdNi2Sb2 crystallizes in the tetragonal I4/mmm space group. The structure is three-dimensional. Gd3+ is bonded in a distorted body-centered cubic geometry to eight equivalent Sb3- atoms. All Gd–Sb bond lengths are 3.38 Å. Ni+1.50+ is bonded to four equivalent Sb3- atoms to form a mixture of edge and corner-sharing NiSb4 tetrahedra. All Ni–Sb bond lengths are 2.49 Å. Sb3- is bonded in a 9-coordinate geometry to four equivalent Gd3+, four equivalent Ni+1.50+, and one Sb3- atom. The Sb–Sb bond length is 2.87 Å.
