Materials Data on PuNi2 by Materials Project
PuNi2 is Cubic Laves structured and crystallizes in the cubic Fd-3m space group. The structure is three-dimensional. Pu is bonded in a 12-coordinate geometry to twelve equivalent Ni atoms. All Pu–Ni bond lengths are 2.86 Å. Ni is bonded to six equivalent Pu and six equivalent Ni atoms to form a mixture of face, edge, and corner-sharing NiPu6Ni6 cuboctahedra. All Ni–Ni bond lengths are 2.44 Å.
