Materials Data on YNiAs by Materials Project
YNiAs is hexagonal omega structure-derived structured and crystallizes in the hexagonal P-6m2 space group. The structure is three-dimensional. Y is bonded to six equivalent Ni and six equivalent As atoms to form a mixture of edge and face-sharing YNi6As6 cuboctahedra. All Y–Ni bond lengths are 3.06 Å. All Y–As bond lengths are 3.06 Å. Ni is bonded in a 3-coordinate geometry to six equivalent Y and three equivalent As atoms. All Ni–As bond lengths are 2.35 Å. As is bonded in a 3-coordinate geometry to six equivalent Y and three equivalent Ni atoms.
