Materials Data on YAl2Ni by Materials Project

YNiAl2 crystallizes in the orthorhombic Cmcm space group. The structure is three-dimensional. Y is bonded in a 1-coordinate geometry to three equivalent Ni and ten equivalent Al atoms. There are one shorter (2.85 Å) and two longer (3.06 Å) Y–Ni bond lengths. There are a spread of Y–Al bond distances ranging from 3.08–3.31 Å. Ni is bonded in a 9-coordinate geometry to three equivalent Y and six equivalent Al atoms. There are two shorter (2.46 Å) and four longer (2.50 Å) Ni–Al bond lengths. Al is bonded in a 3-coordinate geometry to five equivalent Y and three equivalent Ni atoms.
