Materials Data on ScTi4(NiSn)5 by Materials Project

ScTi4(NiSn)5 is half-Heusler-derived structured and crystallizes in the trigonal R3m space group. The structure is three-dimensional. Sc is bonded in a 4-coordinate geometry to four Ni and six Sn atoms. There are three shorter (2.64 Å) and one longer (2.67 Å) Sc–Ni bond lengths. There are three shorter (3.02 Å) and three longer (3.06 Å) Sc–Sn bond lengths. There are four inequivalent Ti sites. In the first Ti site, Ti is bonded in a 4-coordinate geometry to four Ni and six Sn atoms. There are three shorter (2.57 Å) and one longer (2.59 Å) Ti–Ni bond lengths. There are three shorter (2.97 Å) and three longer (3.01 Å) Ti–Sn bond lengths. In the second Ti site, Ti is bonded in a 4-coordinate geometry to four Ni and six Sn atoms. There are one shorter (2.58 Å) and three longer (2.59 Å) Ti–Ni bond lengths. There are three shorter (2.96 Å) and three longer (3.00 Å) Ti–Sn bond lengths.
