Materials Data on Gd2InNi2 by Materials Project
Gd2Ni2In crystallizes in the orthorhombic Cmmm space group. The structure is three-dimensional. Gd is bonded in a 10-coordinate geometry to six equivalent Ni and four equivalent In atoms. There are four shorter (2.88 Å) and two longer (3.00 Å) Gd–Ni bond lengths. All Gd–In bond lengths are 3.38 Å. Ni is bonded in a 9-coordinate geometry to six equivalent Gd, two equivalent Ni, and one In atom. Both Ni–Ni bond lengths are 2.49 Å. The Ni–In bond length is 2.87 Å. In is bonded in a distorted q6 geometry to eight equivalent Gd and two equivalent Ni atoms.
