Materials Data on GdBC by Materials Project
GdBC crystallizes in the orthorhombic Cmmm space group. The structure is two-dimensional and consists of four GdBC sheets oriented in the (0, 1, 0) direction. Gd is bonded in a distorted square co-planar geometry to four equivalent C atoms. All Gd–C bond lengths are 2.46 Å. B is bonded in a single-bond geometry to one C atom. The B–C bond length is 1.50 Å. C is bonded to four equivalent Gd and one B atom to form a mixture of distorted corner and edge-sharing CGd4B square pyramids.
