Materials Data on NbNiGe by Materials Project
NbNiGe crystallizes in the orthorhombic Pnma space group. The structure is three-dimensional. Nb is bonded in a 5-coordinate geometry to six equivalent Ni and five equivalent Ge atoms. There are a spread of Nb–Ni bond distances ranging from 2.88–2.97 Å. There are one shorter (2.70 Å) and four longer (2.71 Å) Nb–Ge bond lengths. Ni is bonded in a 4-coordinate geometry to six equivalent Nb and four equivalent Ge atoms. There are a spread of Ni–Ge bond distances ranging from 2.36–2.42 Å. Ge is bonded in a 9-coordinate geometry to five equivalent Nb and four equivalent Ni atoms.
