Title: Materials Data on ThCo3 by Materials Project

Abstract

ThCo3 crystallizes in the trigonal R-3m space group. The structure is three-dimensional. there are two inequivalent Th sites. In the first Th site, Th is bonded in a 9-coordinate geometry to twelve Co atoms. There are a spread of Th–Co bond distances ranging from 2.87–3.30 Å. In the second Th site, Th is bonded in a distorted hexagonal planar geometry to eighteen Co atoms. There are six shorter (2.87 Å) and twelve longer (3.21 Å) Th–Co bond lengths. There are three inequivalent Co sites. In the first Co site, Co is bonded to five Th and seven Co atoms to form a mixture of distorted face, edge, and corner-sharing CoTh5Co7 cuboctahedra. There are a spread of Co–Co bond distances ranging from 2.47–2.63 Å. In the second Co site, Co is bonded to three equivalent Th and nine Co atoms to form distorted CoTh3Co9 cuboctahedra that share corners with eighteen CoTh5Co7 cuboctahedra, edges with six equivalent CoTh3Co9 cuboctahedra, and faces with twenty-two CoTh5Co7 cuboctahedra. All Co–Co bond lengths are 2.87 Å. In the third Co site, Co is bonded to six equivalent Th and six equivalent Co atoms to form CoTh6Co6 cuboctahedra that share corners with eighteen CoTh5Co7 cuboctahedra, edges withmore » six equivalent CoTh6Co6 cuboctahedra, and faces with twenty CoTh5Co7 cuboctahedra.« less
