Materials Data on KCoH3(CO2)3 by Materials Project
KCo(HCOO)3 crystallizes in the monoclinic C2/c space group. The structure is three-dimensional. K1+ is bonded in a 8-coordinate geometry to eight O2- atoms. There are a spread of K–O bond distances ranging from 2.75–2.86 Å. Co2+ is bonded in an octahedral geometry to six O2- atoms. There are a spread of Co–O bond distances ranging from 2.12–2.14 Å. There are two inequivalent C2+ sites. In the first C2+ site, C2+ is bonded in a trigonal planar geometry to one H1+ and two equivalent O2- atoms. The C–H bond length is 1.11 Å. Both C–O bond lengths are 1.27 Å. In the second C2+ site, C2+ is bonded in a trigonal planar geometry to one H1+ and two O2- atoms. The C–H bond length is 1.11 Å. Both C–O bond lengths are 1.27 Å. There are two inequivalent H1+ sites. In the first H1+ site, H1+ is bonded in a single-bond geometry to one C2+ atom. In the second H1+ site, H1+ is bonded in a single-bond geometry to one C2+ atom. There are three inequivalent O2- sites. In the first O2- site, O2- is bonded in a 1-coordinate geometry to two equivalent K1+, one Co2+, and one C2+ atom. In the second O2- site, O2- is bonded in a 1-coordinate geometry to one K1+, one Co2+, and one C2+ atom. In the third O2- site, O2- is bonded in a 1-coordinate geometry to one K1+, one Co2+, and one C2+ atom.
