Materials Data on YbIn5Co by Materials Project
YbCoIn5 crystallizes in the tetragonal P4/mmm space group. The structure is three-dimensional. Yb is bonded to twelve In atoms to form a mixture of face and corner-sharing YbIn12 cuboctahedra. There are four shorter (3.25 Å) and eight longer (3.28 Å) Yb–In bond lengths. Co is bonded in a body-centered cubic geometry to eight equivalent In atoms. All Co–In bond lengths are 2.72 Å. There are two inequivalent In sites. In the first In site, In is bonded in a 4-coordinate geometry to two equivalent Yb, two equivalent Co, and seven In atoms. There are a spread of In–In bond distances ranging from 2.91–3.28 Å. In the second In site, In is bonded in a distorted square co-planar geometry to four equivalent Yb and eight equivalent In atoms.
