Materials Data on CoW3 by Materials Project

Abstract

W3Co is Uranium Silicide structured and crystallizes in the cubic Pm-3m space group. The structure is three-dimensional. W is bonded to eight equivalent W and four equivalent Co atoms to form distorted WCo4W8 cuboctahedra that share corners with twelve equivalent WCo4W8 cuboctahedra, edges with eight equivalent CoW12 cuboctahedra, edges with sixteen equivalent WCo4W8 cuboctahedra, faces with four equivalent CoW12 cuboctahedra, and faces with fourteen equivalent WCo4W8 cuboctahedra. All W–W bond lengths are 2.76 Å. All W–Co bond lengths are 2.76 Å. Co is bonded to twelve equivalent W atoms to form CoW12 cuboctahedra that share corners with twelve equivalent CoW12 cuboctahedra, edges with twenty-four equivalent WCo4W8 cuboctahedra, faces with six equivalent CoW12 cuboctahedra, and faces with twelve equivalent WCo4W8 cuboctahedra.
