Materials Data on CdNi by Materials Project
NiCd crystallizes in the cubic Fd-3m space group. The structure is three-dimensional. there are two inequivalent Ni sites. In the first Ni site, Ni is bonded in a 9-coordinate geometry to three equivalent Ni and six equivalent Cd atoms. All Ni–Ni bond lengths are 2.46 Å. There are three shorter (2.64 Å) and three longer (3.14 Å) Ni–Cd bond lengths. In the second Ni site, Ni is bonded in a 6-coordinate geometry to six equivalent Cd atoms. All Ni–Cd bond lengths are 2.53 Å. Cd is bonded in a 4-coordinate geometry to six Ni atoms.
