Materials Data on Eu(CoP)2 by Materials Project
EuCo2P2 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 P3- atoms. All Eu–P bond lengths are 3.11 Å. Co2+ is bonded to four equivalent P3- atoms to form a mixture of corner and edge-sharing CoP4 tetrahedra. All Co–P bond lengths are 2.21 Å. P3- is bonded in a 8-coordinate geometry to four equivalent Eu2+ and four equivalent Co2+ atoms.
