Materials Data on LaCu2 by Materials Project
LaCu2 is hexagonal omega structure structured and crystallizes in the hexagonal P6/mmm space group. The structure is three-dimensional. La is bonded to twelve equivalent Cu atoms to form a mixture of edge and face-sharing LaCu12 cuboctahedra. All La–Cu bond lengths are 3.15 Å. Cu is bonded in a 9-coordinate geometry to six equivalent La and three equivalent Cu atoms. All Cu–Cu bond lengths are 2.50 Å.
