Materials Data on NbCr2 by Materials Project
Cr2Nb is Cubic Laves structured and crystallizes in the cubic Fd-3m space group. The structure is three-dimensional. Nb is bonded in a 12-coordinate geometry to four equivalent Nb and twelve equivalent Cr atoms. All Nb–Nb bond lengths are 3.01 Å. All Nb–Cr bond lengths are 2.88 Å. Cr is bonded to six equivalent Nb and six equivalent Cr atoms to form a mixture of edge, face, and corner-sharing CrNb6Cr6 cuboctahedra. All Cr–Cr bond lengths are 2.46 Å.
