Materials Data on Er(BC)2 by Materials Project
ErB2C2 crystallizes in the tetragonal P4/mbm space group. The structure is three-dimensional. Er is bonded in a 8-coordinate geometry to eight equivalent B and eight equivalent C atoms. All Er–B bond lengths are 2.72 Å. All Er–C bond lengths are 2.66 Å. B is bonded in a distorted trigonal planar geometry to four equivalent Er and three equivalent C atoms. There is one shorter (1.52 Å) and two longer (1.60 Å) B–C bond length. C is bonded in a 3-coordinate geometry to four equivalent Er and three equivalent B atoms.
