Materials Data on Ca21(Zn18Ni)2 by Materials Project
Abstract
Ca21Ni2Zn36 is Hexagonal Laves-derived structured and crystallizes in the cubic Fd-3m space group. The structure is three-dimensional. there are four inequivalent Ca sites. In the first Ca site, Ca is bonded in a hexagonal planar geometry to six equivalent Zn atoms. All Ca–Zn bond lengths are 3.17 Å. In the second Ca site, Ca is bonded in a 10-coordinate geometry to ten Zn atoms. There are a spread of Ca–Zn bond distances ranging from 3.22–3.37 Å. In the third Ca site, Ca is bonded in a 12-coordinate geometry to twelve Zn atoms. There are a spread of Ca–Zn bond distances ranging from 3.12–3.25 Å. In the fourth Ca site, Ca is bonded in a 12-coordinate geometry to twelve equivalent Zn atoms. All Ca–Zn bond lengths are 3.15 Å. Ni is bonded to twelve Zn atoms to form NiZn12 cuboctahedra that share corners with six equivalent ZnCa5Zn6Ni cuboctahedra and faces with twelve ZnCa5Zn6Ni cuboctahedra. There are six shorter (2.55 Å) and six longer (2.65 Å) Ni–Zn bond lengths. There are three inequivalent Zn sites. In the first Zn site, Zn is bonded in a 10-coordinate geometry to seven Ca and three Zn atoms. There are one shorter (2.72 Å) and twomore »
