Materials Data on CoPb3 by Materials Project
CoPb3 crystallizes in the monoclinic Pm space group. The structure is one-dimensional and consists of two CoPb3 ribbons oriented in the (0, 1, 0) direction. Co is bonded to six Pb atoms to form distorted face-sharing CoPb6 pentagonal pyramids. There are two shorter (2.70 Å) and four longer (2.71 Å) Co–Pb bond lengths. There are three inequivalent Pb sites. In the first Pb site, Pb is bonded in a distorted L-shaped geometry to two equivalent Co atoms. In the second Pb site, Pb is bonded in a distorted L-shaped geometry to two equivalent Co atoms. In the third Pb site, Pb is bonded in a distorted L-shaped geometry to two equivalent Co atoms.
