The material described by Gd2CoB3 is hexagonal omega structure-derived structured and crystallizes in the hexagonal P-6m2 space group. Gd(1) is bonded to three equivalent Co(1), three equivalent B(1), three equivalent B(2), and three equivalent B(3) atoms to form a mixture of face and edge-sharing GdCo3B9 cuboctahedra. Co(1) is bonded in a distorted trigonal planar geometry to six equivalent Gd(1) and three equivalent B(2) atoms. There are three inequivalent B sites. In the first B site, B(1) is bonded in a 9-coordinate geometry to six equivalent Gd(1) and three equivalent B(3) atoms. In the second B site, B(2) is bonded in a distorted trigonal planar geometry to six equivalent Gd(1) and three equivalent Co(1) atoms. In the third B site, B(3) is bonded in a 9-coordinate geometry to six equivalent Gd(1) and three equivalent B(1) atoms. is represented by the CIF card [CIF]
