Materials Data on CoF3 by Materials Project
CoF3 is alpha Rhenium trioxide structured and crystallizes in the trigonal P321 space group. The structure is three-dimensional. there are two inequivalent Co3+ sites. In the first Co3+ site, Co3+ is bonded to six F1- atoms to form corner-sharing CoF6 octahedra. The corner-sharing octahedra tilt angles range from 0–1°. All Co–F bond lengths are 1.93 Å. In the second Co3+ site, Co3+ is bonded to six equivalent F1- atoms to form corner-sharing CoF6 octahedra. The corner-sharing octahedral tilt angles are 0°. All Co–F bond lengths are 1.93 Å. There are two inequivalent F1- sites. In the first F1- site, F1- is bonded in a linear geometry to two Co3+ atoms. In the second F1- site, F1- is bonded in a linear geometry to two equivalent Co3+ atoms.
