  • This is the ternary form of the $D5_{2}$ La$_{2}$O$_{3}$ and the $D5_{13}$ Al$_{3}$Ni$_{2}$ structures. We have separated it from the parents because of the large number of compounds involved.
  • Authors after (Zachariasen, 1949) often use CaAl$_{2}$Si$_{2}$ as the prototype for this structure.
