Single-crystal structure investigation of NdNi and NdNi5

The structures of NdNi and NdNi5 have been determined by single-crystal data. NdNi crystallizes in the orthorhombic space group Cmcm (No. 63), with a=3.8059(5) ?, b=10.462(4) ?, c=4.3345(12) ?, Z=4, V=172.59(8) ?3 and the BCr structure type. NdNi5 crystallizes with the CaCu5 structure type, space group P6/mmm (No. 191), a=4.973(2) ?, c=4.0124(11) ?, Z= 1 and V=85.94(5) ?3.
