Materials Data on LaNiAs by Materials Project
LaNiAs crystallizes in the hexagonal P-6m2 space group. The structure is three-dimensional. La2+ is bonded to six equivalent As3- atoms to form a mixture of distorted face, edge, and corner-sharing LaAs6 pentagonal pyramids. All La–As bond lengths are 3.39 Å. Ni1+ is bonded in a trigonal planar geometry to three equivalent As3- atoms. All Ni–As bond lengths are 2.57 Å. As3- is bonded in a 3-coordinate geometry to six equivalent La2+ and three equivalent Ni1+ atoms.
