Materials Data on La(NiAs)2 by Materials Project
LaNi2As2 crystallizes in the tetragonal I4/mmm space group. The structure is three-dimensional. La3+ is bonded in a distorted body-centered cubic geometry to eight equivalent As3- atoms. All La–As bond lengths are 3.23 Å. Ni+1.50+ is bonded to four equivalent As3- atoms to form a mixture of edge and corner-sharing NiAs4 tetrahedra. All Ni–As bond lengths are 2.38 Å. As3- is bonded in a 9-coordinate geometry to four equivalent La3+, four equivalent Ni+1.50+, and one As3- atom. The As–As bond length is 2.71 Å.
