Materials Data on YNiSn by Materials Project
YNiSn crystallizes in the orthorhombic Pnma space group. The structure is three-dimensional. Y is bonded in a 12-coordinate geometry to six equivalent Ni and six equivalent Sn atoms. There are a spread of Y–Ni bond distances ranging from 3.03–3.31 Å. There are a spread of Y–Sn bond distances ranging from 3.12–3.22 Å. Ni is bonded in a 10-coordinate geometry to six equivalent Y and four equivalent Sn atoms. There are a spread of Ni–Sn bond distances ranging from 2.60–2.80 Å. Sn is bonded in a 10-coordinate geometry to six equivalent Y and four equivalent Ni atoms.
