Materials Data on GdCo2 by Materials Project
GdCo2 is Cubic Laves structured and crystallizes in the cubic Fd-3m space group. The structure is three-dimensional. Gd is bonded in a 12-coordinate geometry to twelve equivalent Co atoms. All Gd–Co bond lengths are 3.00 Å. Co is bonded to six equivalent Gd and six equivalent Co atoms to form a mixture of face, edge, and corner-sharing CoGd6Co6 cuboctahedra. All Co–Co bond lengths are 2.56 Å.
