Materials Data on Co by Materials Project

Abstract

Co crystallizes in the tetragonal P4_2/mnm space group. The structure is three-dimensional. there are four inequivalent Co sites. In the first Co site, Co is bonded in a 3-coordinate geometry to thirteen Co atoms. There are a spread of Co–Co bond distances ranging from 2.23–2.84 Å. In the second Co site, Co is bonded in a 12-coordinate geometry to thirteen Co atoms. There are a spread of Co–Co bond distances ranging from 2.27–2.69 Å. In the third Co site, Co is bonded in a 2-coordinate geometry to fourteen Co atoms. There are a spread of Co–Co bond distances ranging from 2.35–2.82 Å. In the fourth Co site, Co is bonded in a distorted q6 geometry to eleven Co atoms. The Co–Co bond length is 2.28 Å.
