CsNiP crystals were synthesized by hydrothermal technique and characterized by the X-ray diffraction method. This alkaline transition metal phosphide crystallizes in the hexagonal system with space group P6 3 /mmc and cell parameters, a = 7⋅ ⋅173(2) Å, c = 5⋅ ⋅944(9) Å, V = 264⋅ ⋅87(7) Å 3 and Z = 2. The final residual factor is R1 = 0⋅ ⋅0362 for 206 reflections with I > 2σ σ(I).
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
