Materials Data on Co3W by Materials Project

Abstract

Co3W is Uranium Silicide structured and crystallizes in the cubic Pm-3m space group. The structure is three-dimensional. W is bonded to twelve equivalent Co atoms to form WCo12 cuboctahedra that share corners with twelve equivalent WCo12 cuboctahedra, edges with twenty-four equivalent CoCo8W4 cuboctahedra, faces with six equivalent WCo12 cuboctahedra, and faces with twelve equivalent CoCo8W4 cuboctahedra. All W–Co bond lengths are 2.55 Å. Co is bonded to four equivalent W and eight equivalent Co atoms to form distorted CoCo8W4 cuboctahedra that share corners with twelve equivalent CoCo8W4 cuboctahedra, edges with eight equivalent WCo12 cuboctahedra, edges with sixteen equivalent CoCo8W4 cuboctahedra, faces with four equivalent WCo12 cuboctahedra, and faces with fourteen equivalent CoCo8W4 cuboctahedra. All Co–Co bond lengths are 2.55 Å.
