Materials Data on CrB2W by Materials Project
WCrB2 crystallizes in the orthorhombic Amm2 space group. The structure is three-dimensional. W3+ is bonded in a 7-coordinate geometry to seven B3- atoms. There are a spread of W–B bond distances ranging from 2.28–2.35 Å. Cr3+ is bonded in a 7-coordinate geometry to seven B3- atoms. There are a spread of Cr–B bond distances ranging from 2.24–2.47 Å. There are two inequivalent B3- sites. In the first B3- site, B3- is bonded in a 9-coordinate geometry to three equivalent W3+, four equivalent Cr3+, and two equivalent B3- atoms. Both B–B bond lengths are 1.81 Å. In the second B3- site, B3- is bonded in a 9-coordinate geometry to four equivalent W3+, three equivalent Cr3+, and two equivalent B3- atoms.
