Materials Data on VCoSb by Materials Project
CoVSb is half-Heusler structured and crystallizes in the cubic F-43m space group. The structure is three-dimensional. V2+ is bonded in a 6-coordinate geometry to four equivalent Co1+ and six equivalent Sb3- atoms. All V–Co bond lengths are 2.52 Å. All V–Sb bond lengths are 2.91 Å. Co1+ is bonded to four equivalent V2+ and four equivalent Sb3- atoms to form edge-sharing CoV4Sb4 tetrahedra. All Co–Sb bond lengths are 2.52 Å. Sb3- is bonded in a 10-coordinate geometry to six equivalent V2+ and four equivalent Co1+ atoms.
