Materials Data on Ni4Ge by Materials Project
Abstract
Ni4Ge crystallizes in the trigonal R-3m space group. The structure is three-dimensional. there are eight inequivalent Ni sites. In the first Ni site, Ni is bonded to nine Ni and three equivalent Ge atoms to form distorted NiNi9Ge3 cuboctahedra that share corners with twelve NiNi9Ge3 cuboctahedra, edges with six equivalent GeNi6Ge6 cuboctahedra, edges with eighteen NiNi9Ge3 cuboctahedra, faces with six equivalent GeNi6Ge6 cuboctahedra, and faces with twelve NiNi9Ge3 cuboctahedra. There are three shorter (2.48 Å) and six longer (2.64 Å) Ni–Ni bond lengths. All Ni–Ge bond lengths are 2.45 Å. In the second Ni site, Ni is bonded to twelve Ni atoms to form NiNi12 cuboctahedra that share corners with three equivalent GeNi6Ge6 cuboctahedra, corners with nine NiNi9Ge3 cuboctahedra, edges with three equivalent GeNi6Ge6 cuboctahedra, edges with twenty-one NiNi9Ge3 cuboctahedra, and faces with eighteen NiNi9Ge3 cuboctahedra. There are three shorter (2.45 Å) and six longer (2.64 Å) Ni–Ni bond lengths. In the third Ni site, Ni is bonded to twelve Ni atoms to form NiNi12 cuboctahedra that share corners with three equivalent GeNi6Ge6 cuboctahedra, corners with nine NiNi9Ge3 cuboctahedra, edges with three equivalent GeNi6Ge6 cuboctahedra, edges with twenty-one NiNi9Ge3 cuboctahedra, and faces with eighteen NiNi9Ge3 cuboctahedra.
