Materials Data on LaCo2 by Materials Project
LaCo2 is Cubic Laves structured and crystallizes in the cubic Fd-3m space group. The structure is three-dimensional. La is bonded in a 12-coordinate geometry to twelve equivalent Co atoms. All La–Co bond lengths are 3.05 Å. Co is bonded to six equivalent La and six equivalent Co atoms to form a mixture of edge, face, and corner-sharing CoLa6Co6 cuboctahedra. All Co–Co bond lengths are 2.60 Å.
