Abstract

<abstract abstract-type="graphical" xml:lang="en"> <title> <x xml:space="preserve">Abstract</x> </title> <p> <bold>The first binary phase</bold> in the system Co‐Bi was obtained by high‐pressure high‐temperature synthesis. The NiBi₃‐type structure motif comprises cobalt‐centered monocapped bismuth prisms with covalent Co‐Bi interactions. The polyhedra are condensed into infinite columns (see picture), which are arranged in the form of a distorted hexagonal rod packing. The new compound is a superconductor with a <italic>T</italic>_c slightly below 0.5 K.<boxed-text content-type="graphic" position="anchor" orientation="portrait"><graphic position="anchor" mimetype="image" xlink:href="ark:/27927/pgg36jzx6q6" orientation="portrait" xlink:type="simple" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink" /></boxed-text></p> </abstract>
