Materials Data on Th(NiP)2 by Materials Project
Th(NiP)2 crystallizes in the orthorhombic Pnma space group. The structure is three-dimensional. Th4+ is bonded in a 7-coordinate geometry to seven P3- atoms. There are a spread of Th–P bond distances ranging from 2.92–3.10 Å. There are two inequivalent Ni1+ sites. In the first Ni1+ site, Ni1+ is bonded to four P3- atoms to form a mixture of corner and edge-sharing NiP4 tetrahedra. There are two shorter (2.26 Å) and two longer (2.30 Å) Ni–P bond lengths. In the second Ni1+ site, Ni1+ is bonded to four P3- atoms to form a mixture of corner and edge-sharing NiP4 tetrahedra. There are a spread of Ni–P bond distances ranging from 2.21–2.31 Å. There are two inequivalent P3- sites. In the first P3- site, P3- is bonded in a 4-coordinate geometry to three equivalent Th4+ and four Ni1+ atoms. In the second P3- site, P3- is bonded in a 8-coordinate geometry to four equivalent Th4+ and four Ni1+ atoms.
