CaNi4Sn2 crystallizes in the tetragonal I4/mcm space group. Ca(1) is bonded in a 8-coordinate geometry to eight equivalent Ni(1) and eight equivalent Sn(1) atoms. Ni(1) is bonded in a 10-coordinate geometry to two equivalent Ca(1), four equivalent Ni(1), and four equivalent Sn(1) atoms. Sn(1) is bonded in a 12-coordinate geometry to four equivalent Ca(1) and eight equivalent Ni(1) atoms.
CaNi4Sn2 crystallizes in the tetragonal I4/mcm space group. Ca(1) is bonded in a 8-coordinate geometry to eight equivalent Ni(1) and eight equivalent Sn(1) atoms. All Ca(1)-Ni(1) bond lengths are 3.03 Å. All Ca(1)-Sn(1) bond lengths are 3.48 Å. Ni(1) is bonded in a 10-coordinate geometry to two equivalent Ca(1), four equivalent Ni(1), and four equivalent Sn(1) atoms. There are a spread of Ni(1)-Ni(1) bond distances ranging from 2.51-2.73 Å. There is one shorter (2.54 Å) and three longer (2.62 Å) Ni(1)-Sn(1) bond lengths. Sn(1) is bonded in a 12-coordinate geometry to four equivalent Ca(1) and eight equivalent Ni(1) atoms.
