Materials Data on LaNi2 by Materials Project
LaNi2 is Cubic Laves structured and crystallizes in the cubic Fd-3m space group. The structure is three-dimensional. La is bonded in a 12-coordinate geometry to twelve equivalent Ni atoms. All La–Ni bond lengths are 3.05 Å. Ni is bonded to six equivalent La and six equivalent Ni atoms to form a mixture of edge, face, and corner-sharing NiLa6Ni6 cuboctahedra. All Ni–Ni bond lengths are 2.60 Å.
