Materials Data on LaNiSn by Materials Project
LaNiSn is Titanium Disilicide-derived structured and crystallizes in the orthorhombic Pnma space group. The structure is three-dimensional. La is bonded in a 1-coordinate geometry to four equivalent Ni and six equivalent Sn atoms. There are a spread of La–Ni bond distances ranging from 2.97–3.27 Å. There are a spread of La–Sn bond distances ranging from 3.24–3.46 Å. Ni is bonded in a 10-coordinate geometry to four equivalent La and four equivalent Sn atoms. There are a spread of Ni–Sn bond distances ranging from 2.63–2.76 Å. Sn is bonded in a 10-coordinate geometry to six equivalent La and four equivalent Ni atoms.
