Materials Data on CaC4 by Materials Project
CaC4 crystallizes in the tetragonal P4/mmm space group. The structure is three-dimensional. Ca2+ is bonded in a 1-coordinate geometry to sixteen equivalent C+0.50- atoms. All Ca–C bond lengths are 2.75 Å. C+0.50- is bonded in a 7-coordinate geometry to four equivalent Ca2+ and three equivalent C+0.50- atoms. There is one shorter (1.44 Å) and two longer (1.49 Å) C–C bond length.
