Materials Data on Ni10SnP3 by Materials Project

Abstract

Ni10SnP3 crystallizes in the trigonal P-3m1 space group. The structure is three-dimensional. there are seven inequivalent Ni sites. In the first Ni site, Ni is bonded in a 3-coordinate geometry to three equivalent P atoms. All Ni–P bond lengths are 2.29 Å. In the second Ni site, Ni is bonded in a distorted bent 150 degrees geometry to two equivalent Sn and two equivalent P atoms. Both Ni–Sn bond lengths are 2.87 Å. Both Ni–P bond lengths are 2.25 Å. In the third Ni site, Ni is bonded in a 3-coordinate geometry to one Ni, one Sn, and three P atoms. The Ni–Ni bond length is 2.51 Å. The Ni–Sn bond length is 2.61 Å. There are two shorter (2.20 Å) and one longer (2.29 Å) Ni–P bond lengths. In the fourth Ni site, Ni is bonded in a 2-coordinate geometry to one Ni, two Sn, and two equivalent P atoms. The Ni–Ni bond length is 2.78 Å. There are one shorter (2.65 Å) and one longer (3.03 Å) Ni–Sn bond lengths. Both Ni–P bond lengths are 2.29 Å. In the fifth Ni site, Ni is bonded in a 3-coordinate geometry to one Ni, one Sn, and three P atoms. The Ni–Ni bond length is 2.72 Å. The Ni–Sn bond length is 2.61 Å. There are two shorter (2.27 Å) and one longer (2.31 Å) Ni–P bond lengths. In the sixth Ni site, Ni is bonded in a 4-coordinate geometry to nine Ni, one Sn, and three equivalent P atoms. The Ni–Sn bond length is 2.54 Å. All Ni–P bond lengths are 2.40 Å. In the seventh Ni site, Ni is bonded in a 4-coordinate geometry to one Sn and three equivalent P atoms. The Ni–Sn bond length is 2.45 Å. All Ni–P bond lengths are 2.36 Å. There are two inequivalent Sn sites. In the first Sn site, Sn is bonded in a cuboctahedral geometry to twelve Ni atoms. In the second Sn site, Sn is bonded in a 5-coordinate geometry to fourteen Ni atoms. There are two inequivalent P sites. In the first P site, P is bonded in a 9-coordinate geometry to nine Ni atoms. In the second P site, P is bonded in a body-centered cubic geometry to eight Ni atoms.
