La2YCo crystallizes in the trigonal R3m space group. There are two inequivalent La sites. In the first La site, La(1) is bonded to one La(2), one Y(1), and three equivalent Co(1) atoms to form distorted corner-sharing LaLaYCo3 trigonal bipyramids. The La(1)-La(2) bond length is 1.89 Å. The La(1)-Y(1) bond length is 1.89 Å. All La(1)-Co(1) bond lengths are 3.07 Å. In the second La site, La(2) is bonded in a distorted single-bond geometry to one La(1) and one Co(1) atom. The La(2)-Co(1) bond length is 1.89 Å. Y(1) is bonded in a distorted single-bond geometry to one La(1) atom. Co(1) is bonded in a distorted single-bond geometry to one La(2) and three equivalent La(1) atoms.
