Ni3C is Upper Bainite-like structured and crystallizes in the trigonal R-3c space group. Ni(1) is bonded in a bent 120 degrees geometry to two equivalent C(1) atoms. C(1) is bonded to six equivalent Ni(1) atoms to form corner-sharing CNi6 octahedra. The corner-sharing octahedral tilt angles are 50°.
Ni3C is Upper Bainite-like structured and crystallizes in the trigonal R-3c space group. Ni(1) is bonded in a bent 120 degrees geometry to two equivalent C(1) atoms. Both Ni(1)-C(1) bond lengths are 1.87 Å. C(1) is bonded to six equivalent Ni(1) atoms to form corner-sharing CNi6 octahedra. The corner-sharing octahedral tilt angles are 50°.
