Materials Data on YCo2 by Materials Project
YCo2 is Cubic Laves structured and crystallizes in the cubic Fd-3m space group. The structure is three-dimensional. Y is bonded in a 12-coordinate geometry to twelve equivalent Co atoms. All Y–Co bond lengths are 2.96 Å. Co is bonded to six equivalent Y and six equivalent Co atoms to form a mixture of edge, face, and corner-sharing CoY6Co6 cuboctahedra. All Co–Co bond lengths are 2.52 Å.
