Materials Data on Zn11Ni2 by Materials Project
Ni2Zn11 crystallizes in the cubic I-43m space group. The structure is three-dimensional. Ni is bonded in a distorted q6 geometry to twelve Zn atoms. There are a spread of Ni–Zn bond distances ranging from 2.57–2.73 Å. There are three inequivalent Zn sites. In the first Zn site, Zn is bonded in a 12-coordinate geometry to three equivalent Ni and nine Zn atoms. There are a spread of Zn–Zn bond distances ranging from 2.61–2.66 Å. In the second Zn site, Zn is bonded in a 2-coordinate geometry to two equivalent Ni and nine Zn atoms. There are a spread of Zn–Zn bond distances ranging from 2.60–2.97 Å. In the third Zn site, Zn is bonded in a 7-coordinate geometry to two equivalent Ni and eleven Zn atoms. The Zn–Zn bond length is 2.58 Å.
