Abstract
SmNiAl crystallizes in the orthorhombic Amm2 space group. The structure is three-dimensional. there are two inequivalent Sm sites. In the first Sm site, Sm is bonded in a 12-coordinate geometry to three equivalent Sm, five Ni, and seven Al atoms. There are two shorter (3.28 Å) and one longer (3.31 Å) Sm–Sm bond lengths. There are a spread of Sm–Ni bond distances ranging from 2.95–3.26 Å. There are a spread of Sm–Al bond distances ranging from 3.17–3.25 Å. In the second Sm site, Sm is bonded in a 12-coordinate geometry to four Sm, seven Ni, and five Al atoms. The Sm–Sm bond length is 3.01 Å. There are a spread of Sm–Ni bond distances ranging from 3.07–3.15 Å. There are a spread of Sm–Al bond distances ranging from 3.10–3.23 Å. There are three inequivalent Ni sites. In the first Ni site, Ni is bonded to six Sm and six Al atoms to form NiSm6Al6 cuboctahedra that share corners with four equivalent AlSm6Al2Ni4 cuboctahedra, corners with fourteen NiSm6Al6 cuboctahedra, edges with six NiSm6Al6 cuboctahedra, faces with four equivalent NiSm6Al2Ni4 cuboctahedra, and faces with fourteen AlSm6Al2Ni4 cuboctahedra. There are a spread of Ni–Al bond distances ranging from 2.68–2.74 Å. In the secondmore »
