description: NiOCaO crystallizes in the triclinic P1 space group. The structure is three-dimensional. there are four inequivalent Ca2+ sites. In the first Ca2+ site, Ca2+ is bonded to six O2- atoms to form distorted CaO6 octahedra that share corners with two equivalent CaO6 octahedra, corners with two NiO4 trigonal pyramids, edges with seven CaO6 octahedra, and an edgeedge with one NiO4 trigonal pyramid. The corner-sharing octahedral tilt angles are 1°. There are a spread of Ca–O bond distances ranging from 2.29–2.85 Å. In the second Ca2+ site, Ca2+ is bonded to six O2- atoms to form distorted CaO6 octahedra that share corners with two equivalent CaO6 octahedra, corners with two NiO4 trigonal pyramids, edges with seven CaO6 octahedra, and an edgeedge with one NiO4 trigonal pyramid.
