Materials Data on In(Co11B3)2 by Materials Project

Abstract

In(Co11B3)2 crystallizes in the cubic Fm-3m space group. The structure is three-dimensional. there are three inequivalent Co sites. In the first Co site, Co is bonded in a distorted tetrahedral geometry to four equivalent Co atoms. All Co–Co bond lengths are 2.39 Å. In the second Co site, Co is bonded in a distorted trigonal non-coplanar geometry to one Co and three equivalent B atoms. All Co–B bond lengths are 2.08 Å. In the third Co site, Co is bonded in a 2-coordinate geometry to one In and two equivalent B atoms. The Co–In bond length is 2.57 Å. Both Co–B bond lengths are 2.12 Å. In is bonded in a cuboctahedral geometry to twelve equivalent Co atoms. B is bonded in a 8-coordinate geometry to eight Co atoms.
