Materials Data on Pu2Co by Materials Project
Pu2Co crystallizes in the hexagonal P-62m space group. The structure is three-dimensional. there are two inequivalent Pu sites. In the first Pu site, Pu is bonded in a 5-coordinate geometry to five Co atoms. There are four shorter (2.96 Å) and one longer (3.06 Å) Pu–Co bond lengths. In the second Pu site, Pu is bonded to four Co atoms to form a mixture of distorted corner and edge-sharing PuCo4 tetrahedra. There are two shorter (2.73 Å) and two longer (2.74 Å) Pu–Co bond lengths. There are two inequivalent Co sites. In the first Co site, Co is bonded in a 9-coordinate geometry to nine Pu atoms. In the second Co site, Co is bonded in a 9-coordinate geometry to nine Pu atoms.
