Materials Data on Er3Ni13B2 by Materials Project
Er3Ni13B2 crystallizes in the orthorhombic Cmmm space group. The structure is three-dimensional. there are two inequivalent Er sites. In the first Er site, Er is bonded in a 12-coordinate geometry to twelve Ni and six equivalent B atoms. There are four shorter (2.85 Å) and eight longer (2.86 Å) Er–Ni bond lengths. There are four shorter (2.83 Å) and two longer (2.85 Å) Er–B bond lengths. In the second Er site, Er is bonded in a 6-coordinate geometry to eighteen Ni atoms. There are a spread of Er–Ni bond distances ranging from 2.84–3.25 Å. There are five inequivalent Ni sites. In the first Ni site, Ni is bonded to four equivalent Er and eight Ni atoms to form a mixture of edge, corner, and face-sharing NiEr4Ni8 cuboctahedra. There are four shorter (2.43 Å) and four longer (2.46 Å) Ni–Ni bond lengths. In the second Ni site, Ni is bonded to four equivalent Er and eight Ni atoms to form a mixture of edge, corner, and face-sharing NiEr4Ni8 cuboctahedra. There are four shorter (2.43 Å) and two longer (2.45 Å) Ni–Ni bond lengths. In the third Ni site, Ni is bonded in a 12-coordinate geometry to three equivalent Er and nine Ni atoms. There are a spread of Ni–Ni bond distances ranging from 2.47–2.85 Å. In the fourth Ni site, Ni is bonded in a distorted L-shaped geometry to four Er, two equivalent Ni, and two equivalent B atoms. Both Ni–B bond lengths are 2.04 Å. In the fifth Ni site, Ni is bonded in a distorted L-shaped geometry to four Er, two equivalent Ni, and two equivalent B atoms. Both Ni–B bond lengths are 2.04 Å. B is bonded in a 6-coordinate geometry to three equivalent Er and six Ni atoms.
