Zr(Ni2As)2 crystallizes in the tetragonal P4_2/mnm space group. Zr(1) is bonded to twelve equivalent Ni(1) and six equivalent As(1) atoms to form distorted face-sharing ZrNi12As6 octahedra. Ni(1) is bonded in a 3-coordinate geometry to three equivalent Zr(1) and three equivalent As(1) atoms. As(1) is bonded in a 9-coordinate geometry to three equivalent Zr(1) and six equivalent Ni(1) atoms.
Zr(Ni2As)2 crystallizes in the tetragonal P4_2/mnm space group. Zr(1) is bonded to twelve equivalent Ni(1) and six equivalent As(1) atoms to form distorted face-sharing ZrNi12As6 octahedra. There are four shorter (3.08 Å) and eight longer (3.12 Å) Zr(1)-Ni(1) bond lengths. There are two shorter (2.81 Å) and four longer (2.85 Å) Zr(1)-As(1) bond lengths. Ni(1) is bonded in a 3-coordinate geometry to three equivalent Zr(1) and three equivalent As(1) atoms. All Ni(1)-As(1) bond lengths are 2.34 Å. As(1) is bonded in a 9-coordinate geometry to three equivalent Zr(1) and six equivalent Ni(1) atoms.
