Materials Data on Ni6Ge2B by Materials Project
Ni6Ge2B crystallizes in the hexagonal P-62m space group. The structure is three-dimensional. there are two inequivalent Ni sites. In the first Ni site, Ni is bonded in a 2-coordinate geometry to two equivalent B and two equivalent Ge atoms. Both Ni–B bond lengths are 2.08 Å. Both Ni–Ge bond lengths are 2.43 Å. In the second Ni site, Ni is bonded in a 5-coordinate geometry to one B and four equivalent Ge atoms. The Ni–B bond length is 2.36 Å. All Ni–Ge bond lengths are 2.44 Å. B is bonded in a 9-coordinate geometry to nine Ni atoms. Ge is bonded in a 9-coordinate geometry to nine Ni atoms.
