Materials Data on LuAl2Ni by Materials Project
LuNiAl2 crystallizes in the orthorhombic Cmcm space group. The structure is three-dimensional. Lu is bonded in a 1-coordinate geometry to three equivalent Ni and ten equivalent Al atoms. There are one shorter (2.76 Å) and two longer (2.97 Å) Lu–Ni bond lengths. There are a spread of Lu–Al bond distances ranging from 3.02–3.22 Å. Ni is bonded in a 9-coordinate geometry to three equivalent Lu and six equivalent Al atoms. There are two shorter (2.47 Å) and four longer (2.50 Å) Ni–Al bond lengths. Al is bonded in a 3-coordinate geometry to five equivalent Lu and three equivalent Ni atoms.
