Materials Data on Pr3Co by Materials Project
Pr3Co is Cementite structured and crystallizes in the orthorhombic Pnma space group. The structure is two-dimensional and consists of two Pr3Co sheets oriented in the (0, 0, 1) direction. there are two inequivalent Pr sites. In the first Pr site, Pr is bonded in a bent 150 degrees geometry to two equivalent Co atoms. There are one shorter (2.79 Å) and one longer (2.94 Å) Pr–Co bond lengths. In the second Pr site, Pr is bonded in a distorted water-like geometry to two equivalent Co atoms. There are one shorter (2.82 Å) and one longer (2.93 Å) Pr–Co bond lengths. Co is bonded in a 6-coordinate geometry to six Pr atoms.
