Materials Data on YCoGe by Materials Project
YCoGe crystallizes in the orthorhombic Pnma space group. The structure is three-dimensional. Y is bonded in a 9-coordinate geometry to four equivalent Co and five equivalent Ge atoms. There are a spread of Y–Co bond distances ranging from 2.90–3.02 Å. There are a spread of Y–Ge bond distances ranging from 2.95–3.03 Å. Co is bonded in a 10-coordinate geometry to four equivalent Y and four equivalent Ge atoms. There are three shorter (2.46 Å) and one longer (2.61 Å) Co–Ge bond lengths. Ge is bonded in a 10-coordinate geometry to five equivalent Y and four equivalent Co atoms.
