Materials Data on ZrNiSb by Materials Project
ZrNiSb crystallizes in the orthorhombic Pnma space group. The structure is three-dimensional. Zr2+ is bonded in a 5-coordinate geometry to five equivalent Sb3- atoms. There are a spread of Zr–Sb bond distances ranging from 2.95–3.00 Å. Ni1+ is bonded to four equivalent Sb3- atoms to form a mixture of edge and corner-sharing NiSb4 trigonal pyramids. There are a spread of Ni–Sb bond distances ranging from 2.52–2.63 Å. Sb3- is bonded in a 9-coordinate geometry to five equivalent Zr2+ and four equivalent Ni1+ atoms.
