Materials Data on Ni3H by Materials Project
Ni3H is alpha bismuth trifluoride structured and crystallizes in the cubic Fm-3m space group. The structure is three-dimensional. there are two inequivalent Ni sites. In the first Ni site, Ni is bonded in a 8-coordinate geometry to four equivalent Ni and four equivalent H atoms. All Ni–Ni bond lengths are 2.31 Å. All Ni–H bond lengths are 2.31 Å. In the second Ni site, Ni is bonded in a body-centered cubic geometry to eight equivalent Ni atoms. H is bonded in a distorted body-centered cubic geometry to eight equivalent Ni atoms.
