Materials Data on LaMg2Ni by Materials Project
LaMg2Ni crystallizes in the orthorhombic Cmcm space group. The structure is three-dimensional. Mg is bonded in a distorted trigonal non-coplanar geometry to three equivalent Ni atoms. There are two shorter (2.76 Å) and one longer (2.84 Å) Mg–Ni bond lengths. La is bonded in a 3-coordinate geometry to three equivalent Ni atoms. There are one shorter (2.91 Å) and two longer (3.02 Å) La–Ni bond lengths. Ni is bonded in a 9-coordinate geometry to six equivalent Mg and three equivalent La atoms.
