Materials Data on Zn(GaNi)3 by Materials Project
Zn(NiGa)3 crystallizes in the cubic Ia-3d space group. The structure is three-dimensional. Ni is bonded in a distorted body-centered cubic geometry to two equivalent Zn and six equivalent Ga atoms. Both Ni–Zn bond lengths are 2.48 Å. There are a spread of Ni–Ga bond distances ranging from 2.45–2.57 Å. Zn is bonded to six equivalent Ni atoms to form distorted corner-sharing ZnNi6 cuboctahedra. Ga is bonded in a 6-coordinate geometry to six equivalent Ni atoms.
