Materials Data on GdCoC2 by Materials Project
GdCoC2 crystallizes in the orthorhombic Amm2 space group. The structure is three-dimensional. Gd3+ is bonded in a 8-coordinate geometry to eight equivalent C+2.50- atoms. All Gd–C bond lengths are 2.67 Å. Co2+ is bonded in a 4-coordinate geometry to four equivalent C+2.50- atoms. There is two shorter (1.95 Å) and two longer (1.99 Å) Co–C bond length. C+2.50- is bonded in a 7-coordinate geometry to four equivalent Gd3+, two equivalent Co2+, and one C+2.50- atom. The C–C bond length is 1.38 Å.
