CuNiIn crystallizes in the hexagonal P6_3/mmc space group. Ni(1) is bonded in a 14-coordinate geometry to two equivalent Ni(1), six equivalent Cu(1), and six equivalent In(1) atoms. Cu(1) is bonded to six equivalent Ni(1) and five equivalent In(1) atoms to form a mixture of distorted face and corner-sharing CuIn5Ni6 trigonal bipyramids. In(1) is bonded in a 11-coordinate geometry to six equivalent Ni(1) and five equivalent Cu(1) atoms.
CuNiIn crystallizes in the hexagonal P6_3/mmc space group. Ni(1) is bonded in a 14-coordinate geometry to two equivalent Ni(1), six equivalent Cu(1), and six equivalent In(1) atoms. Both Ni(1)-Ni(1) bond lengths are 2.67 Å. All Ni(1)-Cu(1) bond lengths are 2.84 Å. All Ni(1)-In(1) bond lengths are 2.84 Å. Cu(1) is bonded to six equivalent Ni(1) and five equivalent In(1) atoms to form a mixture of distorted face and corner-sharing CuIn5Ni6 trigonal bipyramids. There are three shorter (2.51 Å) and two longer (2.67 Å) Cu(1)-In(1) bond lengths. In(1) is bonded in a 11-coordinate geometry to six equivalent Ni(1) and five equivalent Cu(1) atoms.
