Materials Data on HoAl2Ni by Materials Project
HoNiAl2 crystallizes in the orthorhombic Cmcm space group. The structure is three-dimensional. Ho is bonded in a 1-coordinate geometry to three equivalent Ni and ten equivalent Al atoms. There are one shorter (2.81 Å) and two longer (3.03 Å) Ho–Ni bond lengths. There are a spread of Ho–Al bond distances ranging from 3.06–3.28 Å. Ni is bonded in a 9-coordinate geometry to three equivalent Ho and six equivalent Al atoms. There are two shorter (2.46 Å) and four longer (2.51 Å) Ni–Al bond lengths. Al is bonded in a 3-coordinate geometry to five equivalent Ho and three equivalent Ni atoms.
