Materials Data on ZrVNi by Materials Project

Abstract

ZrVNi crystallizes in the orthorhombic Amm2 space group. The structure is three-dimensional. there are six inequivalent Zr sites. In the first Zr site, Zr is bonded in a 12-coordinate geometry to four Zr, five V, and seven Ni atoms. There are one shorter (3.04 Å) and three longer (3.09 Å) Zr–Zr bond lengths. There are a spread of Zr–V bond distances ranging from 2.97–3.04 Å. There are a spread of Zr–Ni bond distances ranging from 2.84–3.03 Å. In the second Zr site, Zr is bonded in a 12-coordinate geometry to four Zr, seven V, and five Ni atoms. There are two shorter (3.09 Å) and one longer (3.25 Å) Zr–Zr bond lengths. There are a spread of Zr–V bond distances ranging from 2.97–3.02 Å. There are a spread of Zr–Ni bond distances ranging from 2.92–2.96 Å. In the third Zr site, Zr is bonded in a 12-coordinate geometry to four Zr, seven V, and five Ni atoms. All Zr–Zr bond lengths are 3.09 Å. There are a spread of Zr–V bond distances ranging from 2.97–3.02 Å. There are a spread of Zr–Ni bond distances ranging from 2.92–2.96 Å. In the fourth Zr site, Zr is bonded in a 12-coordinate geometry to four Zr, five V, and seven Ni atoms. Both Zr–Zr bond lengths are 3.09 Å. There are a spread of Zr–V bond distances ranging from 2.97–3.04 Å. There are a spread of Zr–Ni bond distances ranging from 2.84–3.03 Å. In the fifth Zr site, Zr is bonded in a 12-coordinate geometry to four Zr, five V, and seven Ni atoms. The Zr–Zr bond length is 3.04 Å. There are a spread of Zr–V bond distances ranging from 2.97–3.04 Å. There are a spread of Zr–Ni bond distances ranging from 2.84–3.03 Å. In the sixth Zr site, Zr is bonded in a 12-coordinate geometry to four Zr, seven V, and five Ni atoms. There are one shorter (3.09 Å) and one longer (3.25 Å) Zr–Zr bond lengths. There are a spread of Zr–V bond distances ranging from 2.97–3.02 Å. There are a spread of Zr–Ni bond distances ranging from 2.92–2.96 Å. There are three inequivalent V sites. In the first V site, V is bonded to six Zr and six Ni atoms to form distorted VZr6Ni6 cuboctahedra that share corners with four equivalent NiZr6V4Ni2 cuboctahedra, corners with fourteen VZr6Ni6 cuboctahedra, edges with six VZr6Ni6 cuboctahedra, faces with four equivalent VZr6V4Ni2 cuboctahedra, and faces with fourteen NiZr6V4Ni2 cuboctahedra. There are a spread of V–Ni bond distances ranging from 2.44–2.52 Å. In the second V site, V is bonded to six Zr, four V, and two equivalent Ni atoms to form VZr6V4Ni2 cuboctahedra that share corners with eight VZr6Ni6 cuboctahedra, corners with ten NiZr6V4Ni2 cuboctahedra, edges with two equivalent VZr6V4Ni2 cuboctahedra, edges with four equivalent NiZr6V2Ni4 cuboctahedra, faces with eight NiZr6V4Ni2 cuboctahedra, and faces with ten VZr6Ni6 cuboctahedra. There are a spread of V–V bond distances ranging from 2.42–2.59 Å. Both V–Ni bond lengths are 2.60 Å. In the third V site, V is bonded to six Zr, four equivalent V, and two equivalent Ni atoms to form VZr6V4Ni2 cuboctahedra that share corners with six VZr6Ni6 cuboctahedra, corners with twelve NiZr6V4Ni2 cuboctahedra, edges with six VZr6Ni6 cuboctahedra, faces with eight equivalent VZr6V4Ni2 cuboctahedra, and faces with ten NiZr6V4Ni2 cuboctahedra. Both V–Ni bond lengths are 2.63 Å. There are two inequivalent Ni sites. In the first Ni site, Ni is bonded to six Zr, four V, and two equivalent Ni atoms to form distorted NiZr6V4Ni2 cuboctahedra that share corners with four equivalent NiZr6V2Ni4 cuboctahedra, corners with eight VZr6Ni6 cuboctahedra, edges with six equivalent NiZr6V4Ni2 cuboctahedra, faces with eight NiZr6V4Ni2 cuboctahedra, and faces with twelve VZr6Ni6 cuboctahedra. Both Ni–Ni bond lengths are 2.56 Å. In the second Ni site, Ni is bonded to six Zr, two equivalent V, and four Ni atoms to form distorted NiZr6V2Ni4 cuboctahedra that share corners with eight NiZr6V4Ni2 cuboctahedra, corners with ten VZr6V4Ni2 cuboctahedra, edges with two equivalent NiZr6V2Ni4 cuboctahedra, edges with four equivalent VZr6V4Ni2 cuboctahedra, faces with eight VZr6Ni6 cuboctahedra, and faces with ten NiZr6V4Ni2 cuboctahedra. There are one shorter (2.50 Å) and one longer (2.57 Å) Ni–Ni bond lengths.
