Materials Data on NdSnAu by Materials Project

Abstract

NdAuSn crystallizes in the monoclinic C2/m space group. The structure is three-dimensional. Nd is bonded in a 9-coordinate geometry to six equivalent Au and six equivalent Sn atoms. There are a spread of Nd–Au bond distances ranging from 3.20–3.37 Å. There are a spread of Nd–Sn bond distances ranging from 3.29–3.89 Å. Au is bonded in a 10-coordinate geometry to six equivalent Nd, three equivalent Au, and one Sn atom. All Au–Au bond lengths are 2.81 Å. The Au–Sn bond length is 3.30 Å. Sn is bonded in a 10-coordinate geometry to six equivalent Nd, one Au, and three equivalent Sn atoms. There are two shorter (2.95 Å) and one longer (2.97 Å) Sn–Sn bond lengths.
