Materials Data on Dy(Ni2B)6 by Materials Project
Dy(Ni2B)6 crystallizes in the orthorhombic Cmc2_1 space group. The structure is three-dimensional. Dy3+ is bonded in a distorted hexagonal planar geometry to six B3- atoms. There are a spread of Dy–B bond distances ranging from 2.98–3.31 Å. There are seven inequivalent Ni+1.25+ sites. In the first Ni+1.25+ site, Ni+1.25+ is bonded in a 4-coordinate geometry to four B3- atoms. There are a spread of Ni–B bond distances ranging from 2.10–2.53 Å. In the second Ni+1.25+ site, Ni+1.25+ is bonded in a T-shaped geometry to three B3- atoms. There are two shorter (1.99 Å) and one longer (2.08 Å) Ni–B bond lengths. In the third Ni+1.25+ site, Ni+1.25+ is bonded to four B3- atoms to form a mixture of corner and edge-sharing NiB4 tetrahedra. There are a spread of Ni–B bond distances ranging from 1.99–2.09 Å. In the fourth Ni+1.25+ site, Ni+1.25+ is bonded in a T-shaped geometry to three B3- atoms. There are a spread of Ni–B bond distances ranging from 2.03–2.09 Å. In the fifth Ni+1.25+ site, Ni+1.25+ is bonded to four B3- atoms to form a mixture of corner and edge-sharing NiB4 tetrahedra. There are a spread of Ni–B bond distances ranging from 2.02–2.08 Å. In the sixth Ni+1.25+ site, Ni+1.25+ is bonded to four B3- atoms to form a mixture of distorted corner and edge-sharing NiB4 tetrahedra. There are a spread of Ni–B bond distances ranging from 2.03–2.10 Å. In the seventh Ni+1.25+ site, Ni+1.25+ is bonded in a distorted T-shaped geometry to three B3- atoms. There are a spread of Ni–B bond distances ranging from 2.04–2.17 Å. There are four inequivalent B3- sites. In the first B3- site, B3- is bonded in a 8-coordinate geometry to one Dy3+ and seven Ni+1.25+ atoms. In the second B3- site, B3- is bonded in a 9-coordinate geometry to one Dy3+ and eight Ni+1.25+ atoms. In the third B3- site, B3- is bonded in a 7-coordinate geometry to one Dy3+ and seven Ni+1.25+ atoms. In the fourth B3- site, B3- is bonded in a 7-coordinate geometry to one Dy3+ and seven Ni+1.25+ atoms.
