Nickel bismuth boride, Ni23-xBixB6[x = 2.44 (1)]

The τ-boride Ni23-xBixB6 [x = 2.44 (1)] adopts a ternary variant of the cubic Cr23C6-type structure, with Ni8 cubes and Ni12 cuboctahedra arranged in a NaCl-type pattern. Two of the four independent metal sites (8c, overline{4}3m symmetry; 4a, moverline{3}m symmetry) are o...
