W2C is beta Vanadium nitride structured and crystallizes in the trigonal P-31m space group. W(1) is bonded in a 3-coordinate geometry to one C(1) and two equivalent C(2) atoms. There are two inequivalent C sites. In the first C site, C(1) is bonded to six equivalent W(1) atoms to form corner-sharing CW6 octahedra. The corner-sharing octahedral tilt angles are 49°. In the second C site, C(2) is bonded to six equivalent W(1) atoms to form a mixture of corner and edge-sharing CW6 octahedra. The corner-sharing octahedral tilt angles are 49°.
