Materials Data on Tb(BC)2 by Materials Project
TbB2C2 crystallizes in the tetragonal P4_2/mmc space group. The structure is three-dimensional. Tb4+ is bonded in a 8-coordinate geometry to eight equivalent C2- atoms. All Tb–C bond lengths are 2.72 Å. B is bonded in a 2-coordinate geometry to one B and two equivalent C2- atoms. The B–B bond length is 1.64 Å. Both B–C bond lengths are 1.61 Å. C2- is bonded in a 2-coordinate geometry to four equivalent Tb4+, two equivalent B, and one C2- atom. The C–C bond length is 1.43 Å.
