WAlC crystallizes in the orthorhombic Pmm2 space group. W(1) is bonded in a distorted rectangular see-saw-like geometry to two equivalent Al(1) and two equivalent C(1) atoms. Al(1) is bonded in a 4-coordinate geometry to two equivalent W(1) and four equivalent C(1) atoms. C(1) is bonded to two equivalent W(1) and four equivalent Al(1) atoms to form a mixture of distorted corner, edge, and face-sharing CAl4W2 pentagonal pyramids.
WAlC crystallizes in the orthorhombic Pmm2 space group. W(1) is bonded in a distorted rectangular see-saw-like geometry to two equivalent Al(1) and two equivalent C(1) atoms. Both W(1)-Al(1) bond lengths are 2.83 Å. Both W(1)-C(1) bond lengths are 2.07 Å. Al(1) is bonded in a 4-coordinate geometry to two equivalent W(1) and four equivalent C(1) atoms. All Al(1)-C(1) bond lengths are 2.20 Å. C(1) is bonded to two equivalent W(1) and four equivalent Al(1) atoms to form a mixture of distorted corner, edge, and face-sharing CAl4W2 pentagonal pyramids.
