Materials Data on Gd2CBr by Materials Project
Gd2CBr is H-Phase structured and crystallizes in the hexagonal P6_3/mmc space group. The structure is three-dimensional. Gd is bonded to three equivalent C and three equivalent Br atoms to form a mixture of distorted corner, edge, and face-sharing GdC3Br3 octahedra. The corner-sharing octahedra tilt angles range from 0–40°. All Gd–C bond lengths are 2.51 Å. All Gd–Br bond lengths are 3.15 Å. C is bonded to six equivalent Gd atoms to form edge-sharing CGd6 octahedra. Br is bonded in a 6-coordinate geometry to six equivalent Gd atoms.
