The material described by Gd2CoNi3 is hexagonal omega structure-derived structured and crystallizes in the hexagonal P-6m2 space group. Gd(1) is bonded to three equivalent Co(1), three equivalent Ni(1), three equivalent Ni(2), and three equivalent Ni(3) atoms to form a mixture of edge and face-sharing GdCo3Ni9 cuboctahedra. Co(1) is bonded in a 9-coordinate geometry to six equivalent Gd(1) and three equivalent Ni(2) atoms. There are three inequivalent Ni sites. In the first Ni site, Ni(1) is bonded in a 9-coordinate geometry to six equivalent Gd(1) and three equivalent Ni(3) atoms. In the second Ni site, Ni(2) is bonded in a 9-coordinate geometry to six equivalent Gd(1) and three equivalent Co(1) atoms. In the third Ni site, Ni(3) is bonded in a 9-coordinate geometry to six equivalent Gd(1) and three equivalent Ni(1) atoms. is represented by the Crystallographic Information File (CIF) [CIF]
