Materials Data on Pu3Co by Materials Project
Pu3Co crystallizes in the orthorhombic Cmcm space group. The structure is two-dimensional and consists of two Pu3Co sheets oriented in the (0, 1, 0) direction. there are two inequivalent Pu sites. In the first Pu site, Pu is bonded in a 3-coordinate geometry to three equivalent Co atoms. There are two shorter (2.84 Å) and one longer (3.09 Å) Pu–Co bond lengths. In the second Pu site, Pu is bonded in a 2-coordinate geometry to two equivalent Co atoms. Both Pu–Co bond lengths are 2.52 Å. Co is bonded in a 10-coordinate geometry to eight Pu atoms.
