Materials Data on Tb(BC)2 by Materials Project
TbB2C2 crystallizes in the tetragonal P4/mbm space group. The structure is three-dimensional. Tb4+ is bonded in a body-centered cubic geometry to eight equivalent C2- atoms. All Tb–C bond lengths are 2.70 Å. B is bonded in a distorted trigonal planar geometry to three equivalent C2- atoms. There is one shorter (1.53 Å) and two longer (1.61 Å) B–C bond length. C2- is bonded in a 3-coordinate geometry to four equivalent Tb4+ and three equivalent B atoms.
