Materials Data on Eu(CoAs)2 by Materials Project
EuCo2As2 is alpha bismuth trifluoride-derived structured and crystallizes in the tetragonal I4/mmm space group. The structure is three-dimensional. Eu2+ is bonded in a body-centered cubic geometry to eight equivalent As3- atoms. All Eu–As bond lengths are 3.20 Å. Co2+ is bonded to four equivalent As3- atoms to form a mixture of edge and corner-sharing CoAs4 tetrahedra. All Co–As bond lengths are 2.33 Å. As3- is bonded in a 4-coordinate geometry to four equivalent Eu2+ and four equivalent Co2+ atoms.
