Structure and Bonding of La<sub>2</sub>NiBi
Bibliographic record
Abstract
La 2 NiBi was synthesized by heating a cold pressed pellet of the elements in a sealed and evacuated silica tube at 1070 K. The structure was determined via powder and single crystal X‐ray diffraction. La 2 NiBi crystallizes orthorhombically, in the space group Pnma : a = 838.88(6), b = 455.61(11), c = 1210.4(2) pm and V = 0.46261(14) nm 3 ( wR = 0.1002, 1001 F 2 values, 26 variables, Z = 4). La 2 NiBi represents a higher congener of La 2 NiSb and adopts a ternary ordered version of the Bi 3 Ni structure type. Similar to La 2 NiSb, the nickel atoms form infinite zigzag chains (259 pm Ni–Ni) with trigonal‐prismatic lanthanum coordination. One rectangular face of the lanthanum prism is capped by a bismuth atom (333.08–364.74 pm La–Bi, 281.18 pm Ni–Bi). These zigzag chains run along the b axis. DFT based band structure calculations and DOS representations suggest metallic behavior. This was confirmed via temperature dependent impedance spectroscopic measurements. A Seebeck coefficient of –10 μV · K –1 in the temperature range up to 873 K substantiates this finding. Thermal analyses show that the compound is stable up to 873 K under inert gas conditions and degrades at higher temperatures. The magnetic measurements show almost no grain boundary nickel impurities characterizing La 2 NiBi as a weak Pauli paramagnet.

How this classification was reachedexpand
Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one teacher head, not a consensus.
