Materials Data on Ce3(SiNi)4 by Materials Project
Abstract
Ce3Ni4Si4 crystallizes in the orthorhombic Immm space group. The structure is three-dimensional. there are two inequivalent Ce3+ sites. In the first Ce3+ site, Ce3+ is bonded to six Si4- atoms to form distorted CeSi6 pentagonal pyramids that share corners with four equivalent CeSi6 pentagonal pyramids, corners with eight equivalent NiSi4 tetrahedra, edges with two equivalent CeSi6 pentagonal pyramids, edges with four equivalent NiSi4 tetrahedra, and faces with two equivalent CeSi6 pentagonal pyramids. All Ce–Si bond lengths are 3.06 Å. In the second Ce3+ site, Ce3+ is bonded in a distorted body-centered cubic geometry to eight equivalent Si4- atoms. All Ce–Si bond lengths are 3.08 Å. There are two inequivalent Ni+1.75+ sites. In the first Ni+1.75+ site, Ni+1.75+ is bonded in a trigonal planar geometry to three Si4- atoms. There are two shorter (2.30 Å) and one longer (2.36 Å) Ni–Si bond lengths. In the second Ni+1.75+ site, Ni+1.75+ is bonded to four equivalent Si4- atoms to form NiSi4 tetrahedra that share corners with eight equivalent CeSi6 pentagonal pyramids, corners with four equivalent NiSi4 tetrahedra, edges with four equivalent CeSi6 pentagonal pyramids, and edges with four equivalent NiSi4 tetrahedra. There are two shorter (2.34 Å) and two longer (2.38 Å) Ni–Simore »
