Materials Data on ZrBC by Materials Project
ZrBC crystallizes in the hexagonal P6_3/mmc space group. The structure is three-dimensional. Zr is bonded to six equivalent B and six equivalent C atoms to form a mixture of face and edge-sharing ZrB6C6 cuboctahedra. All Zr–B bond lengths are 2.57 Å. All Zr–C bond lengths are 2.57 Å. B is bonded in a trigonal planar geometry to six equivalent Zr and three equivalent C atoms. All B–C bond lengths are 1.71 Å. C is bonded in a trigonal planar geometry to six equivalent Zr and three equivalent B atoms.
