In the sixth Ni+1.20+ site, Ni+1.20+ is bonded to four As3- atoms to form NiAs4 tetrahedra that share corners with two equivalent LaAs6 pentagonal pyramids, corners with ten NiAs4 tetrahedra, an edgeedge with one LaAs6 pentagonal pyramid, and edges with four NiAs4 tetrahedra. There are a spread of Ni–As bond distances ranging from 2.35–2.41 Å. In the seventh Ni+1.20+ site, Ni+1.20+ is bonded to four As3- atoms to form NiAs4 tetrahedra that share corners with two equivalent LaAs6 pentagonal pyramids, corners with thirteen NiAs4 tetrahedra, edges with three equivalent LaAs6 pentagonal pyramids, and edges with three NiAs4 tetrahedra. There are a spread of Ni–As bond distances ranging from 2.40–2.44 Å. In the eighth Ni+1.20+ site, Ni+1.20+ is bonded to four As3- atoms to form NiAs4 tetrahedra that share corners with ten NiAs4 tetrahedra, edges with two equivalent LaAs6 pentagonal pyramids, and edges with four NiAs4 tetrahedra. There are a spread of Ni–As bond distances ranging from 2.36–2.51 Å. In the ninth Ni+1.20+ site, Ni+1.20+ is bonded to four As3- atoms to form NiAs4 tetrahedra that share corners with nine NiAs4 tetrahedra, edges with two equivalent LaAs6 pentagonal pyramids, and edges with four NiAs4 tetrahedra. There are a spread of Ni–As bond distances ranging from 2.34–2.48 Å. In the tenth Ni+1.20+ site, Ni+1.20+ is bonded to four As3- atoms to form NiAs4 tetrahedra that share corners with two equivalent LaAs6 pentagonal pyramids, corners with twelve NiAs4 tetrahedra, an edgeedge with one LaAs6 pentagonal pyramid, and edges with three NiAs4 tetrahedra.
