Materials Data on CeCuNi by Materials Project

Abstract

CeNiCu crystallizes in the monoclinic C2/m space group. The structure is three-dimensional. Ce is bonded in a 1-coordinate geometry to five equivalent Ni and six equivalent Cu atoms. There are a spread of Ce–Ni bond distances ranging from 2.59–3.00 Å. There are a spread of Ce–Cu bond distances ranging from 2.96–3.41 Å. Ni is bonded in a 1-coordinate geometry to five equivalent Ce, one Ni, and three equivalent Cu atoms. The Ni–Ni bond length is 2.50 Å. There are two shorter (2.53 Å) and one longer (2.55 Å) Ni–Cu bond lengths. Cu is bonded in a 12-coordinate geometry to six equivalent Ce, three equivalent Ni, and three equivalent Cu atoms. There are one shorter (2.69 Å) and two longer (3.03 Å) Cu–Cu bond lengths.
