Materials Data on Sm3Ni3Bi4 by Materials Project
Sm3Ni3Bi4 crystallizes in the cubic I-43d space group. The structure is three-dimensional. Sm is bonded in a 12-coordinate geometry to four equivalent Ni and eight equivalent Bi atoms. All Sm–Ni bond lengths are 3.00 Å. There are four shorter (3.32 Å) and four longer (3.47 Å) Sm–Bi bond lengths. Ni is bonded in a 8-coordinate geometry to four equivalent Sm and four equivalent Bi atoms. All Ni–Bi bond lengths are 2.71 Å. Bi is bonded in a 9-coordinate geometry to six equivalent Sm and three equivalent Ni atoms.
