Materials Data on Pr(NiSb)2 by Materials Project
PrNi2Sb2 crystallizes in the tetragonal I4/mmm space group. The structure is three-dimensional. Pr3+ is bonded in a distorted body-centered cubic geometry to eight equivalent Sb3- atoms. All Pr–Sb bond lengths are 3.43 Å. Ni+1.50+ is bonded to four equivalent Sb3- atoms to form a mixture of corner and edge-sharing NiSb4 tetrahedra. All Ni–Sb bond lengths are 2.50 Å. Sb3- is bonded in a 9-coordinate geometry to four equivalent Pr3+, four equivalent Ni+1.50+, and one Sb3- atom. The Sb–Sb bond length is 2.92 Å.
