Materials Data on NdNiSb by Materials Project
NdNiSb crystallizes in the hexagonal P6_3/mmc space group. The structure is three-dimensional. Nd2+ is bonded to six equivalent Sb3- atoms to form a mixture of face, edge, and corner-sharing NdSb6 octahedra. The corner-sharing octahedral tilt angles are 46°. All Nd–Sb bond lengths are 3.26 Å. Ni1+ is bonded in a trigonal planar geometry to three equivalent Sb3- atoms. All Ni–Sb bond lengths are 2.53 Å. Sb3- is bonded in a 3-coordinate geometry to six equivalent Nd2+ and three equivalent Ni1+ atoms.
