Materials Data on Ce(Ni2Sn)2 by Materials Project
Ce(Ni2Sn)2 crystallizes in the tetragonal I-4c2 space group. The structure is three-dimensional. Ce is bonded in a 8-coordinate geometry to eight equivalent Ni and eight equivalent Sn atoms. There are four shorter (3.00 Å) and four longer (3.04 Å) Ce–Ni bond lengths. All Ce–Sn bond lengths are 3.50 Å. Ni is bonded in a 10-coordinate geometry to two equivalent Ce, four equivalent Ni, and four equivalent Sn atoms. There are a spread of Ni–Ni bond distances ranging from 2.53–2.73 Å. There are a spread of Ni–Sn bond distances ranging from 2.54–2.68 Å. Sn is bonded in a 12-coordinate geometry to four equivalent Ce and eight equivalent Ni atoms.
