Materials Data on Yb(Ni2P)2 by Materials Project

YbNi4P2 crystallizes in the tetragonal P4_2/mnm space group. The structure is three-dimensional. Yb2+ is bonded to six equivalent P3- atoms to form a mixture of corner and edge-sharing YbP6 octahedra. The corner-sharing octahedral tilt angles are 38°. There are two shorter (2.78 Å) and four longer (2.85 Å) Yb–P bond lengths. Ni1+ is bonded in a trigonal planar geometry to three equivalent P3- atoms. There are two shorter (2.28 Å) and one longer (2.30 Å) Ni–P bond lengths. P3- is bonded in a 9-coordinate geometry to three equivalent Yb2+ and six equivalent Ni1+ atoms.
