Materials Data on ThCo2 by Materials Project
ThCo2 crystallizes in the tetragonal I4/mmm space group. The structure is three-dimensional. Th is bonded to eight equivalent Co atoms to form distorted edge-sharing ThCo8 hexagonal bipyramids. All Th–Co bond lengths are 2.69 Å. Co is bonded in a 8-coordinate geometry to four equivalent Th and four equivalent Co atoms. All Co–Co bond lengths are 2.59 Å.
