Materials Data on V4Co2N by Materials Project

Abstract

V4Co2N crystallizes in the cubic Fd-3m space group. The structure is three-dimensional. there are two inequivalent V sites. In the first V site, V is bonded in a 6-coordinate geometry to six equivalent Co atoms. All V–Co bond lengths are 2.35 Å. In the second V site, V is bonded in a distorted bent 150 degrees geometry to four equivalent Co and two equivalent N atoms. There are two shorter (2.54 Å) and two longer (2.82 Å) V–Co bond lengths. Both V–N bond lengths are 2.01 Å. Co is bonded in a 12-coordinate geometry to nine V and three equivalent Co atoms. All Co–Co bond lengths are 2.59 Å. N is bonded to six equivalent V atoms to form corner-sharing NV6 octahedra. The corner-sharing octahedral tilt angles are 37°.
