Materials Data on NdCoC2 by Materials Project

Abstract

NdCoC2 crystallizes in the monoclinic Cc space group. The structure is three-dimensional. Nd3+ is bonded in a 8-coordinate geometry to eight C+2.50- atoms. There are a spread of Nd–C bond distances ranging from 2.72–2.77 Å. Co2+ is bonded in a 4-coordinate geometry to four C+2.50- atoms. There are a spread of Co–C bond distances ranging from 1.94–2.01 Å. There are two inequivalent C+2.50- sites. In the first C+2.50- site, C+2.50- is bonded in a 7-coordinate geometry to four equivalent Nd3+, two equivalent Co2+, and one C+2.50- atom. The C–C bond length is 1.38 Å. In the second C+2.50- site, C+2.50- is bonded in a 7-coordinate geometry to four equivalent Nd3+, two equivalent Co2+, and one C+2.50- atom.
