Materials Data on GdInNi4 by Materials Project

Abstract

GdNi4In crystallizes in the cubic F-43m space group. The structure is three-dimensional. Gd is bonded in a 12-coordinate geometry to twelve equivalent Ni and four equivalent In atoms. All Gd–Ni bond lengths are 2.93 Å. All Gd–In bond lengths are 3.06 Å. Ni is bonded to three equivalent Gd, six equivalent Ni, and three equivalent In atoms to form a mixture of face, edge, and corner-sharing NiGd3In3Ni6 cuboctahedra. There are three shorter (2.48 Å) and three longer (2.52 Å) Ni–Ni bond lengths. All Ni–In bond lengths are 2.93 Å. In is bonded in a 4-coordinate geometry to four equivalent Gd and twelve equivalent Ni atoms.
