Materials Data on Re2C by Materials Project
Re2C is Molybdenite structured and crystallizes in the hexagonal P6_3/mmc space group. The structure is two-dimensional and consists of two Re2C sheets oriented in the (0, 0, 1) direction. Re is bonded in a 3-coordinate geometry to three equivalent C atoms. All Re–C bond lengths are 2.17 Å. C is bonded to six equivalent Re atoms to form distorted edge-sharing CRe6 pentagonal pyramids.
