Materials Data on Nd(CoB)2 by Materials Project
NdCo2B2 crystallizes in the tetragonal I4/mmm space group. The structure is three-dimensional. Nd3+ is bonded in a body-centered cubic geometry to eight equivalent B3- atoms. All Nd–B bond lengths are 3.01 Å. Co+1.50+ is bonded to four equivalent B3- atoms to form a mixture of distorted edge and corner-sharing CoB4 tetrahedra. All Co–B bond lengths are 1.99 Å. B3- is bonded in a 4-coordinate geometry to four equivalent Nd3+ and four equivalent Co+1.50+ atoms.
