Materials Data on Nd7Al7Co6 by Materials Project
Nd7Co6Al7 crystallizes in the tetragonal P4/mbm space group. The structure is three-dimensional. there are three inequivalent Nd sites. In the first Nd site, Nd is bonded in a body-centered cubic geometry to eight equivalent Al atoms. All Nd–Al bond lengths are 3.15 Å. In the second Nd site, Nd is bonded in a 11-coordinate geometry to six Co and five Al atoms. There are two shorter (2.95 Å) and four longer (3.05 Å) Nd–Co bond lengths. There are a spread of Nd–Al bond distances ranging from 3.02–3.32 Å. In the third Nd site, Nd is bonded in a 1-coordinate geometry to four Co and six Al atoms. There are a spread of Nd–Co bond distances ranging from 2.64–3.12 Å. There are a spread of Nd–Al bond distances ranging from 3.13–3.36 Å. There are two inequivalent Co sites. In the first Co site, Co is bonded in a 9-coordinate geometry to four Nd, one Co, and four Al atoms. The Co–Co bond length is 2.43 Å. There are two shorter (2.49 Å) and two longer (2.68 Å) Co–Al bond lengths. In the second Co site, Co is bonded in a 9-coordinate geometry to six Nd and three Al atoms. There are two shorter (2.54 Å) and one longer (2.76 Å) Co–Al bond lengths. There are three inequivalent Al sites. In the first Al site, Al is bonded to four equivalent Nd and four equivalent Co atoms to form distorted AlNd4Co4 cuboctahedra that share corners with eight equivalent AlNd5Al2Co5 cuboctahedra and faces with two equivalent AlNd4Co4 cuboctahedra. In the second Al site, Al is bonded to five Nd, five Co, and two equivalent Al atoms to form distorted AlNd5Al2Co5 cuboctahedra that share corners with four equivalent AlNd4Co4 cuboctahedra and faces with two equivalent AlNd5Al2Co5 cuboctahedra. Both Al–Al bond lengths are 2.80 Å. In the third Al site, Al is bonded in a 2-coordinate geometry to seven Nd, two equivalent Co, and one Al atom.
