Materials Data on LuGa2Ni by Materials Project
LuNiGa2 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 Ga atoms. There are one shorter (2.79 Å) and two longer (2.97 Å) Lu–Ni bond lengths. There are a spread of Lu–Ga bond distances ranging from 2.93–3.22 Å. Ni is bonded in a 9-coordinate geometry to three equivalent Lu and six equivalent Ga atoms. There are two shorter (2.50 Å) and four longer (2.53 Å) Ni–Ga bond lengths. Ga is bonded in a 10-coordinate geometry to five equivalent Lu, three equivalent Ni, and two equivalent Ga atoms. There are one shorter (2.60 Å) and one longer (2.83 Å) Ga–Ga bond lengths.
