Materials Data on LaNiSb by Materials Project
LaNiSb crystallizes in the hexagonal P6_3/mmc space group. The structure is three-dimensional. La2+ is bonded to six equivalent Sb3- atoms to form a mixture of edge, face, and corner-sharing LaSb6 octahedra. The corner-sharing octahedral tilt angles are 45°. All La–Sb bond lengths are 3.31 Å. Ni1+ is bonded in a trigonal planar geometry to three equivalent Sb3- atoms. All Ni–Sb bond lengths are 2.56 Å. Sb3- is bonded in a 3-coordinate geometry to six equivalent La2+ and three equivalent Ni1+ atoms.
