Materials Data on Lu(CoGe)2 by Materials Project
Lu(CoGe)2 crystallizes in the tetragonal I4/mmm space group. The structure is three-dimensional. Lu is bonded in a 8-coordinate geometry to eight equivalent Co and eight equivalent Ge atoms. All Lu–Co bond lengths are 3.19 Å. All Lu–Ge bond lengths are 3.05 Å. Co is bonded to four equivalent Lu and four equivalent Ge atoms to form a mixture of distorted edge, face, and corner-sharing CoLu4Ge4 tetrahedra. All Co–Ge bond lengths are 2.32 Å. Ge is bonded in a 9-coordinate geometry to four equivalent Lu, four equivalent Co, and one Ge atom. The Ge–Ge bond length is 2.53 Å.
