Materials Data on Cr2As by Materials Project
Cr2As crystallizes in the tetragonal P4/nmm space group. The structure is three-dimensional. there are two inequivalent Cr sites. In the first Cr site, Cr is bonded to five equivalent As atoms to form a mixture of distorted edge and corner-sharing CrAs5 square pyramids. There are one shorter (2.44 Å) and four longer (2.54 Å) Cr–As bond lengths. In the second Cr site, Cr is bonded in a 12-coordinate geometry to four equivalent As atoms. All Cr–As bond lengths are 2.51 Å. As is bonded in a 9-coordinate geometry to nine Cr atoms.
