Materials Data on Nd2(Ga3Co)3 by Materials Project

Abstract

Nd2(CoGa3)3 crystallizes in the orthorhombic Cmcm space group. The structure is three-dimensional. Nd is bonded in a 11-coordinate geometry to eleven Ga atoms. There are a spread of Nd–Ga bond distances ranging from 3.01–3.08 Å. There are two inequivalent Co sites. In the first Co site, Co is bonded in a 12-coordinate geometry to eight Ga atoms. There are two shorter (2.56 Å) and six longer (2.57 Å) Co–Ga bond lengths. In the second Co site, Co is bonded in a 12-coordinate geometry to eight Ga atoms. There are a spread of Co–Ga bond distances ranging from 2.54–2.58 Å. There are four inequivalent Ga sites. In the first Ga site, Ga is bonded in a 11-coordinate geometry to three equivalent Nd, three Co, and five Ga atoms. There are a spread of Ga–Ga bond distances ranging from 2.76–2.86 Å. In the second Ga site, Ga is bonded in a 10-coordinate geometry to two equivalent Nd, three Co, and five Ga atoms. There are one shorter (2.67 Å) and two longer (2.84 Å) Ga–Ga bond lengths. In the third Ga site, Ga is bonded in a 10-coordinate geometry to two equivalent Nd, two equivalent Co, and six Ga atoms. Both Ga–Ga bond lengths are 2.74 Å. In the fourth Ga site, Ga is bonded in a 10-coordinate geometry to two equivalent Nd, two equivalent Co, and six Ga atoms. The Ga–Ga bond length is 2.74 Å.
