Materials Data on SmCoGe by Materials Project
SmCoGe crystallizes in the orthorhombic Pnma space group. The structure is three-dimensional. Sm is bonded in a 9-coordinate geometry to four equivalent Co and six equivalent Ge atoms. There are a spread of Sm–Co bond distances ranging from 2.91–3.00 Å. There are a spread of Sm–Ge bond distances ranging from 3.04–3.19 Å. Co is bonded in a 8-coordinate geometry to four equivalent Sm and four equivalent Ge atoms. There are a spread of Co–Ge bond distances ranging from 2.45–2.56 Å. Ge is bonded in a 10-coordinate geometry to six equivalent Sm and four equivalent Co atoms.
