Materials Data on Gd2CF2 by Materials Project
Gd2CF2 crystallizes in the trigonal P-3m1 space group. The structure is three-dimensional. Gd3+ is bonded in a 7-coordinate geometry to three equivalent C4- and four equivalent F1- atoms. All Gd–C bond lengths are 2.56 Å. There are three shorter (2.43 Å) and one longer (2.68 Å) Gd–F bond lengths. C4- is bonded to six equivalent Gd3+ atoms to form edge-sharing CGd6 octahedra. F1- is bonded in a 4-coordinate geometry to four equivalent Gd3+ atoms.
