Materials Data on MgCo by Materials Project

MgCo crystallizes in the cubic Fd-3m space group. The structure is three-dimensional. Mg is bonded in a 6-coordinate geometry to six Co atoms. There are a spread of Mg–Co bond distances ranging from 2.79–2.81 Å. There are two inequivalent Co sites. In the first Co site, Co is bonded in a distorted q6 geometry to six equivalent Mg and six Co atoms. There are three shorter (2.42 Å) and three longer (2.49 Å) Co–Co bond lengths. In the second Co site, Co is bonded to six equivalent Mg and six equivalent Co atoms to form face-sharing CoMg6Co6 cuboctahedra.
