Materials Data on YAl2Co by Materials Project
YCoAl2 crystallizes in the orthorhombic Cmcm space group. The structure is three-dimensional. Y is bonded in a 1-coordinate geometry to three equivalent Co and ten equivalent Al atoms. There are one shorter (2.78 Å) and two longer (3.03 Å) Y–Co bond lengths. There are a spread of Y–Al bond distances ranging from 3.12–3.30 Å. Co is bonded in a 9-coordinate geometry to three equivalent Y and six equivalent Al atoms. There are two shorter (2.48 Å) and four longer (2.49 Å) Co–Al bond lengths. Al is bonded in a 3-coordinate geometry to five equivalent Y and three equivalent Co atoms.
