title: Materials Data on V2Co9W by Materials Project

description: V2WCo9 is beta Cu3Ti-derived structured and crystallizes in the trigonal R3m space group. The structure is three-dimensional. there are two inequivalent V sites. In the first V site, V is bonded to twelve Co atoms to form VCo12 cuboctahedra that share corners with three equivalent WCo12 cuboctahedra, corners with six equivalent VCo12 cuboctahedra, corners with six equivalent CoV3Co8W cuboctahedra, edges with twenty-one CoV2Co8W2 cuboctahedra, faces with three equivalent WCo12 cuboctahedra, faces with four equivalent VCo12 cuboctahedra, and faces with twelve CoV3Co8W cuboctahedra. There are a spread of V–Co bond distances ranging from 2.46–2.53 Å. In the second V site, V is bonded to twelve Co atoms to form VCo12 cuboctahedra that share corners with six equivalent VCo12 cuboctahedra, corners with twelve CoV2Co8W2 cuboctahedra, edges with eighteen CoV2Co8W2 cuboctahedra, faces with four equivalent VCo12 cuboctahedra, faces with four equivalent WCo12 cuboctahedra, and faces with twelve CoV3Co8W cuboctahedra. There are six shorter (2.50 Å) and six longer (2.51 Å) V–Co bond lengths. W is bonded to twelve Co atoms to form WCo12 cuboctahedra that share corners with three equivalent VCo12 cuboctahedra, corners with six equivalent WCo12 cuboctahedra, corners with six equivalent CoV3Co8W cuboctahedra, edges with twenty-one CoV2Co8W2 cuboctahedra, faces with seven VCo12 cuboctahedra, and faces with twelve CoV3Co8W cuboctahedra. There are a spread of W–Co bond distances ranging from 2.50–2.55 Å. There are five inequivalent Co sites. In the first Co site, Co is bonded to three V, one W, and eight Co atoms to form distorted CoV3Co8W cuboctahedra that share corners with two equivalent VCo12 cuboctahedra, corners with thirteen CoV2Co8W2 cuboctahedra, edges with three equivalent WCo12 cuboctahedra, edges with four VCo12 cuboctahedra, edges with fourteen CoV3Co8W cuboctahedra, a faceface with one WCo12 cuboctahedra, faces with three VCo12 cuboctahedra, and faces with fifteen CoV3Co8W cuboctahedra. There are a spread of Co–Co bond distances ranging from 2.43–2.59 Å. In the second Co site, Co is bonded to two V, two equivalent W, and eight Co atoms to form distorted CoV2Co8W2 cuboctahedra that share corners with two equivalent VCo12 cuboctahedra, corners with thirteen CoV2Co8W2 cuboctahedra, edges with two equivalent WCo12 cuboctahedra, edges with five VCo12 cuboctahedra, edges with fourteen CoV3Co8W cuboctahedra, faces with two VCo12 cuboctahedra, faces with two equivalent WCo12 cuboctahedra, and faces with fifteen CoV3Co8W cuboctahedra. There are a spread of Co–Co bond distances ranging from 2.44–2.57 Å. In the third Co site, Co is bonded to three V, one W, and eight Co atoms to form distorted CoV3Co8W cuboctahedra that share corners with two equivalent VCo12 cuboctahedra, corners with two equivalent WCo12 cuboctahedra, corners with fourteen CoV3Co8W cuboctahedra, edges with two equivalent WCo12 cuboctahedra, edges with four VCo12 cuboctahedra, edges with twelve CoV3Co8W cuboctahedra, a faceface with one WCo12 cuboctahedra, faces with three VCo12 cuboctahedra, and faces with sixteen CoV3Co8W cuboctahedra. There are three shorter (2.48 Å) and two longer (2.53 Å) Co–Co bond lengths. In the fourth Co site, Co is bonded to three V, one W, and eight Co atoms to form distorted CoV3Co8W cuboctahedra that share corners with two equivalent VCo12 cuboctahedra, corners with thirteen CoV2Co8W2 cuboctahedra, edges with three equivalent WCo12 cuboctahedra, edges with four VCo12 cuboctahedra, edges with fourteen CoV3Co8W cuboctahedra, a faceface with one WCo12 cuboctahedra, faces with three VCo12 cuboctahedra, and faces with fifteen CoV3Co8W cuboctahedra. Both Co–V bond lengths are 2.51 Å. The Co–W bond length is 2.50 Å. There are a spread of Co–Co bond distances ranging from 2.43–2.59 Å. In the fifth Co site, Co is bonded to two V, two equivalent W, and eight Co atoms to form distorted CoV2Co8W2 cuboctahedra that share corners with two equivalent VCo12 cuboctahedra, corners with thirteen CoV2Co8W2 cuboctahedra, edges with two equivalent WCo12 cuboctahedra, edges with five VCo12 cuboctahedra, edges with fourteen CoV3Co8W cuboctahedra, faces with two VCo12 cuboctahedra, faces with two equivalent WCo12 cuboctahedra, and faces with fifteen CoV3Co8W cuboctahedra. There are one shorter (2.46 Å) and one longer (2.50 Å) Co–V bond lengths. Both Co–W bond lengths are 2.51 Å. There are a spread of Co–Co bond distances ranging from 2.44–2.57 Å.
