Materials Data on Ta4Be by Materials Project
BeTa4 is Iron carbide-like structured and crystallizes in the cubic Fd-3m space group. The structure is zero-dimensional and consists of eight BeTa4 clusters. Be is bonded in a tetrahedral geometry to four equivalent Ta atoms. All Be–Ta bond lengths are 2.18 Å. Ta is bonded in a distorted single-bond geometry to one Be atom.
