Materials Data on YNi2 by Materials Project
YNi2 is Cubic Laves structured and crystallizes in the cubic Fd-3m space group. The structure is three-dimensional. Y is bonded in a 12-coordinate geometry to twelve equivalent Ni atoms. All Y–Ni bond lengths are 2.97 Å. Ni is bonded to six equivalent Y and six equivalent Ni atoms to form a mixture of corner, edge, and face-sharing NiY6Ni6 cuboctahedra. All Ni–Ni bond lengths are 2.54 Å.
