ZrCo3 is beta Cu3Ti-like structured and crystallizes in the hexagonal P6_3/mmc space group. Zr(1) is bonded to twelve Co(1,1) atoms to form a mixture of corner and face-sharing ZrCo12 cuboctahedra. There are two inequivalent Co sites. In the first Co site, Co(1) is bonded in a 12-coordinate geometry to four equivalent Zr(1) and eight Co(1,1) atoms. In the second Co site, Co(1) is bonded in a 12-coordinate geometry to four equivalent Zr(1) and eight equivalent Co(1) atoms.
ZrCo3 is beta Cu3Ti-like structured and crystallizes in the hexagonal P6_3/mmc space group. Zr(1) is bonded to twelve Co(1,1) atoms to form a mixture of corner and face-sharing ZrCo12 cuboctahedra. There are six shorter (2.69 Å) and six longer (2.70 Å) Zr(1)-Co(1,1) bond lengths. There are two inequivalent Co sites. In the first Co site, Co(1) is bonded in a 12-coordinate geometry to four equivalent Zr(1) and eight Co(1,1) atoms. There are a spread of Co(1)-Co(1,1) bond distances ranging from 2.44-2.93 Å. In the second Co site, Co(1) is bonded in a 12-coordinate geometry to four equivalent Zr(1) and eight equivalent Co(1) atoms.
