LaMgNi4 is Hexagonal Laves-derived structured and crystallizes in the cubic F-43m space group. Mg(1) is bonded in a 16-coordinate geometry to four equivalent La(1) and twelve equivalent Ni(1) atoms. La(1) is bonded in a 16-coordinate geometry to four equivalent Mg(1) and twelve equivalent Ni(1) atoms. Ni(1) is bonded to three equivalent Mg(1), three equivalent La(1), and six equivalent Ni(1) atoms to form a mixture of corner, face, and edge-sharing NiLa3Mg3Ni6 cuboctahedra.
LaMgNi4 is Hexagonal Laves-derived structured and crystallizes in the cubic F-43m space group. Mg(1) is bonded in a 16-coordinate geometry to four equivalent La(1) and twelve equivalent Ni(1) atoms. All Mg(1)-La(1) bond lengths are 3.06 Å. All Mg(1)-Ni(1) bond lengths are 2.93 Å. La(1) is bonded in a 16-coordinate geometry to four equivalent Mg(1) and twelve equivalent Ni(1) atoms. All La(1)-Ni(1) bond lengths are 2.94 Å. Ni(1) is bonded to three equivalent Mg(1), three equivalent La(1), and six equivalent Ni(1) atoms to form a mixture of corner, face, and edge-sharing NiLa3Mg3Ni6 cuboctahedra. There are three shorter (2.47 Å) and three longer (2.54 Å) Ni(1)-Ni(1) bond lengths.
