- CRe, C2GeTi3, C2SiTi3, AlC2Ti3, others.
- Note that all of the atoms sit on close packed <0001> planes. The stacking sequence may be written: \\ \[ \begin{array}{|c|c|c|c|c|c|c|c|c|c|c|c|c|} \hline Atom & Mo-II & C-II & C-I & C-II & Mo-II & Mo-I & Mo-II & C-II & C-I & C-II & Mo-II & Mo-I \\ \hline Position & B & C & A & B & C & A & C & B & A & C & B & A \\ \hline \end{array} \]\\ Thus the Mo–II atoms and all of the C atoms are always in an fcc-like local environment, while the Mo–I atoms are in an hcp-like local environment. Like AlN3Ti4, this is a MAX phase. For more information, see (Radovic, 2013).
Hexagonal primitive vectors:

\begin{array}{ccc}
\mathbf{a}_1 & = & \frac12 \, a \, \mathbf{\hat{x}} - \frac{\sqrt3}2 \, a \, \mathbf{\hat{y}} \\
