Materials Data on Nd(CoP3)4 by Materials Project
Nd(CoP3)4 crystallizes in the cubic Im-3 space group. The structure is three-dimensional. Nd3+ is bonded to twelve equivalent P1- atoms to form NdP12 cuboctahedra that share faces with eight equivalent CoP6 octahedra. All Nd–P bond lengths are 2.99 Å. Co+2.25+ is bonded to six equivalent P1- atoms to form CoP6 octahedra that share corners with six equivalent CoP6 octahedra and faces with two equivalent NdP12 cuboctahedra. The corner-sharing octahedral tilt angles are 60°. All Co–P bond lengths are 2.26 Å. P1- is bonded in a 2-coordinate geometry to one Nd3+, two equivalent Co+2.25+, and two equivalent P1- atoms. Both P–P bond lengths are 2.30 Å.
