Materials Data on V6CoIr by Materials Project

Abstract

V6IrCo crystallizes in the cubic Pm-3 space group. The structure is three-dimensional. V is bonded in a 6-coordinate geometry to two equivalent V, two equivalent Ir, and two equivalent Co atoms. There are one shorter (2.32 Å) and one longer (2.40 Å) V–V bond lengths. Both V–Ir bond lengths are 2.65 Å. Both V–Co bond lengths are 2.63 Å. Ir is bonded to twelve equivalent V atoms to form IrV12 cuboctahedra that share edges with six equivalent IrV12 cuboctahedra and faces with eight equivalent CoV12 cuboctahedra. Co is bonded to twelve equivalent V atoms to form CoV12 cuboctahedra that share edges with six equivalent CoV12 cuboctahedra and faces with eight equivalent IrV12 cuboctahedra.
