Materials Data on Nd2Ni2Sn by Materials Project
Nd2Ni2Sn crystallizes in the orthorhombic Immm space group. The structure is three-dimensional. Nd is bonded in a 10-coordinate geometry to six equivalent Ni and four equivalent Sn atoms. There are four shorter (3.03 Å) and two longer (3.04 Å) Nd–Ni bond lengths. There are two shorter (3.32 Å) and two longer (3.39 Å) Nd–Sn bond lengths. Ni is bonded in a 9-coordinate geometry to six equivalent Nd, one Ni, and two equivalent Sn atoms. The Ni–Ni bond length is 2.43 Å. Both Ni–Sn bond lengths are 2.76 Å. Sn is bonded to eight equivalent Nd and four equivalent Ni atoms to form a mixture of edge and face-sharing SnNd8Ni4 cuboctahedra.
