Materials Data on Dy2Fe14C by Materials Project
Dy2Fe14C crystallizes in the tetragonal P4_2/mnm space group. The structure is three-dimensional. there are two inequivalent Dy sites. In the first Dy site, Dy is bonded in a 1-coordinate geometry to sixteen Fe and one C atom. There are a spread of Dy–Fe bond distances ranging from 2.99–3.35 Å. The Dy–C bond length is 2.82 Å. In the second Dy site, Dy is bonded in a 6-coordinate geometry to sixteen Fe atoms. There are a spread of Dy–Fe bond distances ranging from 2.96–3.23 Å. There are six inequivalent Fe sites. In the first Fe site, Fe is bonded in a single-bond geometry to two Dy, seven Fe, and one C atom. There are a spread of Fe–Fe bond distances ranging from 2.46–2.73 Å. The Fe–C bond length is 1.99 Å. In the second Fe site, Fe is bonded to two Dy and ten Fe atoms to form a mixture of distorted face, edge, and corner-sharing FeDy2Fe10 cuboctahedra. There are a spread of Fe–Fe bond distances ranging from 2.36–2.61 Å. In the third Fe site, Fe is bonded to three Dy and nine Fe atoms to form a mixture of distorted face, edge, and corner-sharing FeDy3Fe9 cuboctahedra. There are a spread of Fe–Fe bond distances ranging from 2.39–2.74 Å. In the fourth Fe site, Fe is bonded in a 2-coordinate geometry to two Dy and twelve Fe atoms. The Fe–Fe bond length is 2.79 Å. In the fifth Fe site, Fe is bonded to four Dy and eight Fe atoms to form a mixture of distorted face and corner-sharing FeDy4Fe8 cuboctahedra. In the sixth Fe site, Fe is bonded in a water-like geometry to two equivalent Dy, four Fe, and two equivalent C atoms. Both Fe–C bond lengths are 2.02 Å. C is bonded in a 6-coordinate geometry to one Dy and six Fe atoms.
