Materials Data on NdNiP by Materials Project
NdNiP crystallizes in the hexagonal P6_3/mmc space group. The structure is three-dimensional. there are two inequivalent Nd2+ sites. In the first Nd2+ site, Nd2+ is bonded to six equivalent P3- atoms to form edge-sharing NdP6 octahedra. All Nd–P bond lengths are 3.07 Å. In the second Nd2+ site, Nd2+ is bonded in a 6-coordinate geometry to six equivalent P3- atoms. All Nd–P bond lengths are 3.06 Å. Ni1+ is bonded in a trigonal planar geometry to three equivalent P3- atoms. All Ni–P bond lengths are 2.30 Å. P3- is bonded in a 3-coordinate geometry to six Nd2+ and three equivalent Ni1+ atoms.
