Materials Data on Th(NiP)2 by Materials Project
Th(NiP)2 crystallizes in the tetragonal P4/nmm space group. The structure is three-dimensional. Th4+ is bonded in a 8-coordinate geometry to eight P3- atoms. There are four shorter (3.07 Å) and four longer (3.09 Å) Th–P bond lengths. There are two inequivalent Ni1+ sites. In the first Ni1+ site, Ni1+ is bonded in a 5-coordinate geometry to five P3- atoms. There are four shorter (2.29 Å) and one longer (2.34 Å) Ni–P bond lengths. In the second Ni1+ site, Ni1+ is bonded to four equivalent P3- atoms to form a mixture of corner and edge-sharing NiP4 tetrahedra. All Ni–P bond lengths are 2.36 Å. There are two inequivalent P3- sites. In the first P3- site, P3- is bonded in a 5-coordinate geometry to four equivalent Th4+ and five Ni1+ atoms. In the second P3- site, P3- is bonded in a 4-coordinate geometry to four equivalent Th4+ and four equivalent Ni1+ atoms.
