Materials Data on ZrC by Materials Project
ZrC is Halite, Rock Salt structured and crystallizes in the cubic Fm-3m space group. The structure is three-dimensional. Zr4+ is bonded to six equivalent C4- atoms to form a mixture of corner and edge-sharing ZrC6 octahedra. The corner-sharing octahedral tilt angles are 0°. All Zr–C bond lengths are 2.36 Å. C4- is bonded to six equivalent Zr4+ atoms to form a mixture of corner and edge-sharing CZr6 octahedra. The corner-sharing octahedral tilt angles are 0°.
