In the third B site, B(3) is bonded in a distorted single-bond geometry to four equivalent Ni(2) and one C(2) atom. In the fourth B site, B(4) is bonded in a distorted single-bond geometry to four equivalent Ni(1) and one C(1) atom. There are three inequivalent C sites. In the first C site, C(1) is bonded to four equivalent Tb(1) and two equivalent B(4) atoms to form distorted CTb4B2 octahedra that share corners with four equivalent C(1)Tb4B2 octahedra, corners with eight equivalent Ni(1)B4 tetrahedra, and edges with four equivalent C(1)Tb4B2 octahedra.
