Materials Data on KY(CO)8 by Materials Project
KY(CO)8 crystallizes in the tetragonal P4/mcc space group. The structure is two-dimensional and consists of two KY(CO)8 sheets oriented in the (0, 0, 1) direction. K1+ is bonded in a 8-coordinate geometry to eight equivalent O2- atoms. All K–O bond lengths are 2.92 Å. Y3+ is bonded in a 8-coordinate geometry to eight equivalent O2- atoms. All Y–O bond lengths are 2.39 Å. C+1.50+ is bonded in a single-bond geometry to one O2- atom. The C–O bond length is 1.26 Å. O2- is bonded in a 1-coordinate geometry to one K1+, one Y3+, and one C+1.50+ atom.
