Materials Data on K3Ca by Materials Project
K3Ca is Uranium Silicide structured and crystallizes in the cubic Pm-3m space group. The structure is three-dimensional. K is bonded to eight equivalent K and four equivalent Ca atoms to form KK8Ca4 cuboctahedra that share corners with twelve equivalent KK8Ca4 cuboctahedra, edges with eight equivalent CaK12 cuboctahedra, edges with sixteen equivalent KK8Ca4 cuboctahedra, faces with four equivalent CaK12 cuboctahedra, and faces with fourteen equivalent KK8Ca4 cuboctahedra. All K–K bond lengths are 4.47 Å. All K–Ca bond lengths are 4.47 Å. Ca is bonded to twelve equivalent K atoms to form CaK12 cuboctahedra that share corners with twelve equivalent CaK12 cuboctahedra, edges with twenty-four equivalent KK8Ca4 cuboctahedra, faces with six equivalent CaK12 cuboctahedra, and faces with twelve equivalent KK8Ca4 cuboctahedra.
