Ta3C is Uranium Silicide-like structured and crystallizes in the hexagonal P6_3/mmc space group. Ta(1) is bonded in a distorted see-saw-like geometry to four equivalent C(1) atoms. C(1) is bonded to twelve equivalent Ta(1) atoms to form a mixture of corner and face-sharing CTa12 cuboctahedra.
Ta3C is Uranium Silicide-like structured and crystallizes in the hexagonal P6_3/mmc space group. Ta(1) is bonded in a distorted see-saw-like geometry to four equivalent C(1) atoms. There are two shorter (2.72 Å) and two longer (2.83 Å) Ta(1)-C(1) bond lengths. C(1) is bonded to twelve equivalent Ta(1) atoms to form a mixture of corner and face-sharing CTa12 cuboctahedra.
