Materials Data on ThCu2 by Materials Project
ThCu2 is hexagonal omega structure-like structured and crystallizes in the hexagonal P6/mmm space group. The structure is three-dimensional. Th is bonded to twelve equivalent Cu atoms to form a mixture of face and edge-sharing ThCu12 cuboctahedra. All Th–Cu bond lengths are 3.07 Å. Cu is bonded in a 9-coordinate geometry to six equivalent Th and three equivalent Cu atoms. All Cu–Cu bond lengths are 2.54 Å.
