Y Y Ni Ni
NiY crystallizes in the trigonal R3m space group. There are two inequivalent Y sites. In the first Y site, Y(1) is bonded in a single-bond geometry to three equivalent Y(2), one Ni(1), and four equivalent Ni(2) atoms. All Y(1)-Y(2) bond lengths are 2.70 Å. The Y(1)-Ni(1) bond length is 0.70 Å. There are three shorter (2.73 Å) and one longer (3.34 Å) Y(1)-Ni(2) bond length. In the second Y site, Y(2) is bonded in a 10-coordinate geometry to three equivalent Y(1), three equivalent Ni(2), and four equivalent Ni(1) atoms. All Y(2)-Ni(2) bond lengths are 2.70 Å. There are three shorter (2.73 Å) and one longer (3.34 Å) Y(2)-Ni(1) bond length. There are two inequivalent Ni sites. In the first Ni site, Ni(1) is bonded in a single-bond geometry to one Y(1), four equivalent Y(2), and three equivalent Ni(2) atoms. All Ni(1)-Ni(2) bond lengths are 2.70 Å. In the second Ni site, Ni(2) is bonded in a 10-coordinate geometry to three equivalent Y(2), four equivalent Y(1), and three equivalent Ni(1) atoms.
