The compound Ge Co (x=0.54(6), a=10.9861(3) Å, space group Im m) prepared under high pressure and at high temperature is metastable under ambient conditions. It crystallizes in a new structure type, Pearson symbol cI82-1.08. The crystal structure represents a slightly distorted cubic primitive arrangement of germanium atoms with part of the Ge cubes filled by cobalt. Analysis of the chemical bonding by real-space methods revealed three-core cluster units Ge Co and seemingly empty regions comprising either covalent inter-polyhedral Ge-Ge bonds or lone-pairs located at the germanium atoms. The electrical conductivity is metal-like.
在高温高压下制备的化合物 GeCo(x=0.54(6),a=10.9861(3) Å,空间群 Im m)在环境条件下是亚稳的。它结晶在一个新的结构类型,皮尔逊符号 cI82-1.08。晶体结构代表了一个略微扭曲的立方原始锗原子排列,部分锗立方由钴填充。通过实空间方法对化学成键的分析表明,存在三个核簇单元 GeCo 和似乎为空的区域,包含共价多面体 Ge-Ge 键或位于锗原子处的孤对电子。电导率类似于金属。
