Materials Data on Tm(CoGe)2 by Materials Project
TmCo2Ge2 crystallizes in the tetragonal I4/mmm space group. The structure is three-dimensional. Tm is bonded in a 8-coordinate geometry to eight equivalent Co and eight equivalent Ge atoms. All Tm–Co bond lengths are 3.20 Å. All Tm–Ge bond lengths are 3.06 Å. Co is bonded to four equivalent Tm and four equivalent Ge atoms to form a mixture of distorted face, edge, and corner-sharing CoTm4Ge4 tetrahedra. All Co–Ge bond lengths are 2.33 Å. Ge is bonded in a 9-coordinate geometry to four equivalent Tm, four equivalent Co, and one Ge atom. The Ge–Ge bond length is 2.55 Å.
