Materials Data on Nb3Co8Si by Materials Project
Abstract
Nb3Co8Si crystallizes in the trigonal R3m space group. The structure is three-dimensional. there are three inequivalent Nb sites. In the first Nb site, Nb is bonded in a 12-coordinate geometry to four Nb and twelve Co atoms. There are one shorter (2.90 Å) and three longer (2.97 Å) Nb–Nb bond lengths. There are a spread of Nb–Co bond distances ranging from 2.75–2.80 Å. In the second Nb site, Nb is bonded in a 6-coordinate geometry to three equivalent Nb, twelve Co, and one Si atom. There are a spread of Nb–Co bond distances ranging from 2.69–2.90 Å. The Nb–Si bond length is 2.91 Å. In the third Nb site, Nb is bonded in a 9-coordinate geometry to one Nb, twelve Co, and three equivalent Si atoms. There are a spread of Nb–Co bond distances ranging from 2.70–2.81 Å. All Nb–Si bond lengths are 2.82 Å. There are four inequivalent Co sites. In the first Co site, Co is bonded to four Nb, six Co, and two equivalent Si atoms to form a mixture of distorted face, edge, and corner-sharing CoNb4Co6Si2 cuboctahedra. There are a spread of Co–Co bond distances ranging from 2.33–2.38 Å. Both Co–Si bond lengths are 2.88 Å.more »
