Materials Data on CeZnNi by Materials Project

CeNiZn crystallizes in the orthorhombic Amm2 space group. The structure is three-dimensional. there are two inequivalent Ce sites. In the first Ce site, Ce is bonded in a 11-coordinate geometry to five Ni and six Zn atoms. There are four shorter (2.85 Å) and one longer (2.95 Å) Ce–Ni bond lengths. There are two shorter (3.10 Å) and four longer (3.19 Å) Ce–Zn bond lengths. In the second Ce site, Ce is bonded in a 11-coordinate geometry to five Ni and six Zn atoms. There are four shorter (2.86 Å) and one longer (2.94 Å) Ce–Ni bond lengths. There are two shorter (3.10 Å) and four longer (3.19 Å) Ce–Zn bond lengths. There are two inequivalent Ni sites. In the first Ni site, Ni is bonded in a 9-coordinate geometry to six Ce and three Zn atoms. All Ni–Zn bond lengths are 2.76 Å. In the second Ni site, Ni is bonded in a 9-coordinate geometry to three Ce and six Zn atoms. All Ni–Zn bond lengths are 2.55 Å. There are two inequivalent Zn sites. In the first Zn site, Zn is bonded in a 12-coordinate geometry to six Ce, four Ni, and two equivalent Zn atoms. Both Zn–Zn bond lengths are 2.93 Å. In the second Zn site, Zn is bonded in a 12-coordinate geometry to six Ce, four Ni, and two Zn atoms. The Zn–Zn bond length is 2.92 Å.
