description: CrNiNb crystallizes in the orthorhombic Amm2 space group. The structure is three-dimensional. there are seven inequivalent Nb sites. In the first Nb site, Nb is bonded in a 12-coordinate geometry to four Nb, seven Cr, and five Ni atoms. There are one shorter (2.96 Å) and three longer (2.98 Å) Nb–Nb bond lengths. There are a spread of Nb–Cr bond distances ranging from 2.82–2.92 Å. There are a spread of Nb–Ni bond distances ranging from 2.81–2.85 Å. In the second Nb site, Nb is bonded in a 12-coordinate geometry to four Nb, five Cr, and seven Ni atoms. There are one shorter (2.96 Å) and one longer (2.99 Å) Nb–Nb bond lengths. There are a spread of Nb–Cr bond distances ranging from 2.81–2.94 Å. There are a spread of Nb–Ni bond distances ranging from 2.82–2.90 Å. In the third Nb site, Nb is bonded in a 12-coordinate geometry to four Nb, five Cr, and seven Ni atoms. There are one shorter (2.96 Å) and two longer (2.98 Å) Nb–Nb bond lengths. There are a spread of Nb–Cr bond distances ranging from 2.81–2.94 Å. There are a spread of Nb–Ni bond distances ranging from 2.82–2.90 Å.
