Materials Data on CeGaCo by Materials Project

Abstract

CeCoGa crystallizes in the monoclinic C2/m space group. The structure is three-dimensional. Ce is bonded in a distorted bent 150 degrees geometry to two equivalent Co and seven equivalent Ga atoms. There are one shorter (2.39 Å) and one longer (2.57 Å) Ce–Co bond lengths. There are a spread of Ce–Ga bond distances ranging from 3.16–3.28 Å. Co is bonded in a 2-coordinate geometry to two equivalent Ce and three equivalent Ga atoms. There are two shorter (2.46 Å) and one longer (2.60 Å) Co–Ga bond lengths. Ga is bonded in a 5-coordinate geometry to seven equivalent Ce, three equivalent Co, and one Ga atom. The Ga–Ga bond length is 2.85 Å.
