Materials Data on V6CoNi by Materials Project

Abstract

V6CoNi 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 Co, and two equivalent Ni atoms. There are one shorter (2.32 Å) and one longer (2.33 Å) V–V bond lengths. Both V–Co bond lengths are 2.60 Å. Both V–Ni bond lengths are 2.60 Å. 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 NiV12 cuboctahedra. Ni is bonded to twelve equivalent V atoms to form NiV12 cuboctahedra that share edges with six equivalent NiV12 cuboctahedra and faces with eight equivalent CoV12 cuboctahedra.
