W2C is zeta iron carbide structured and crystallizes in the orthorhombic Pnnm space group. W(1) is bonded in a 3-coordinate geometry to three equivalent C(1) atoms. C(1) 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 50°.
W2C is zeta iron carbide structured and crystallizes in the orthorhombic Pnnm space group. W(1) is bonded in a 3-coordinate geometry to three equivalent C(1) atoms. There are two shorter (2.12 Å) and one longer (2.14 Å) W(1)-C(1) bond length. C(1) 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 50°.
