Materials Data on YGa2Ni by Materials Project
YNiGa2 crystallizes in the orthorhombic Cmcm space group. The structure is three-dimensional. Y is bonded in a 5-coordinate geometry to three equivalent Ni and ten equivalent Ga atoms. There are one shorter (2.86 Å) and two longer (3.03 Å) Y–Ni bond lengths. There are a spread of Y–Ga bond distances ranging from 2.99–3.29 Å. Ni is bonded in a 9-coordinate geometry to three equivalent Y and six equivalent Ga atoms. There are two shorter (2.50 Å) and four longer (2.53 Å) Ni–Ga bond lengths. Ga is bonded in a 12-coordinate geometry to five equivalent Y and three equivalent Ni atoms.
