Materials Data on NbFeSi by Materials Project
NbFeSi crystallizes in the orthorhombic Pnma space group. The structure is three-dimensional. Nb2+ is bonded in a 5-coordinate geometry to five equivalent Si4- atoms. There are a spread of Nb–Si bond distances ranging from 2.62–2.75 Å. Fe2+ is bonded in a 6-coordinate geometry to four equivalent Si4- atoms. There are two shorter (2.31 Å) and two longer (2.32 Å) Fe–Si bond lengths. Si4- is bonded in a 9-coordinate geometry to five equivalent Nb2+ and four equivalent Fe2+ atoms.
