Materials Data on Mg2Ni by Materials Project

Mg2Ni crystallizes in the triclinic P1 space group. The structure is three-dimensional. there are eight inequivalent Mg sites. In the first Mg site, Mg is bonded to four Ni atoms to form a mixture of edge and corner-sharing MgNi4 tetrahedra. There are a spread of Mg–Ni bond distances ranging from 2.60–2.66 Å. In the second Mg site, Mg is bonded to four Ni atoms to form a mixture of edge and corner-sharing MgNi4 tetrahedra. There are a spread of Mg–Ni bond distances ranging from 2.60–2.66 Å. In the third Mg site, Mg is bonded to four Ni atoms to form a mixture of edge and corner-sharing MgNi4 tetrahedra. There are a spread of Mg–Ni bond distances ranging from 2.61–2.66 Å. In the fourth Mg site, Mg is bonded to four Ni atoms to form a mixture of edge and corner-sharing MgNi4 tetrahedra. There are a spread of Mg–Ni bond distances ranging from 2.62–2.66 Å. In the fifth Mg site, Mg is bonded to four Ni atoms to form a mixture of edge and corner-sharing MgNi4 tetrahedra. There are a spread of Mg–Ni bond distances ranging from 2.59–2.68 Å. In the sixth Mg site, Mg is bonded to four Ni atoms to form a mixture of edge and corner-sharing MgNi4 tetrahedra. There are a spread of Mg–Ni bond distances ranging from 2.59–2.67 Å. In the seventh Mg site, Mg is bonded to four Ni atoms to form a mixture of distorted edge and corner-sharing MgNi4 tetrahedra. There are a spread of Mg–Ni bond distances ranging from 2.56–2.79 Å. In the eighth Mg site, Mg is bonded to four Ni atoms to form a mixture of distorted edge and corner-sharing MgNi4 tetrahedra. There are a spread of Mg–Ni bond distances ranging from 2.56–2.79 Å. There are four inequivalent Ni sites. In the first Ni site, Ni is bonded in a body-centered cubic geometry to eight Mg atoms. In the second Ni site, Ni is bonded in a body-centered cubic geometry to eight Mg atoms. In the third Ni site, Ni is bonded in a body-centered cubic geometry to eight Mg atoms. In the fourth Ni site, Ni is bonded in a body-centered cubic geometry to eight Mg atoms.
