Materials Data on Sc6Si11Ni18 by Materials Project
Abstract
Sc6Ni18Si11 crystallizes in the orthorhombic Immm space group. The structure is three-dimensional. there are four inequivalent Sc2+ sites. In the first Sc2+ site, Sc2+ is bonded in a distorted rectangular see-saw-like geometry to four equivalent Si4- atoms. All Sc–Si bond lengths are 2.89 Å. In the second Sc2+ site, Sc2+ is bonded in a 4-coordinate geometry to seven Si4- atoms. There are a spread of Sc–Si bond distances ranging from 2.79–3.26 Å. In the third Sc2+ site, Sc2+ is bonded to six Si4- atoms to form distorted ScSi6 pentagonal pyramids that share an edgeedge with one ScSi6 pentagonal pyramid, edges with four equivalent NiSi4 tetrahedra, and faces with two equivalent NiSi4 tetrahedra. There are a spread of Sc–Si bond distances ranging from 2.66–2.98 Å. In the fourth Sc2+ site, Sc2+ is bonded in a 6-coordinate geometry to six Si4- atoms. There are a spread of Sc–Si bond distances ranging from 2.77–2.95 Å. There are eight inequivalent Ni+1.78+ sites. In the first Ni+1.78+ site, Ni+1.78+ is bonded in a 5-coordinate geometry to five Si4- atoms. There are a spread of Ni–Si bond distances ranging from 2.36–2.61 Å. In the second Ni+1.78+ site, Ni+1.78+ is bonded in a 4-coordinate geometry to fourmore »
