Materials Data on YNi5 by Materials Project

YNi5 crystallizes in the hexagonal P6/mmm space group. The structure is three-dimensional. Y is bonded in a 6-coordinate geometry to eighteen Ni atoms. There are six shorter (2.82 Å) and twelve longer (3.14 Å) Y–Ni bond lengths. There are two inequivalent Ni sites. In the first Ni site, Ni is bonded in a 12-coordinate geometry to three equivalent Y and six equivalent Ni atoms. All Ni–Ni bond lengths are 2.42 Å. In the second Ni site, Ni is bonded to four equivalent Y and eight Ni atoms to form a mixture of edge, corner, and face-sharing NiY4Ni8 cuboctahedra. All Ni–Ni bond lengths are 2.44 Å.
