Materials Data on Mn3Sb by Materials Project

Abstract

Mn3Sb is Uranium Silicide structured and crystallizes in the cubic Pm-3m space group. The structure is three-dimensional. Mn is bonded to eight equivalent Mn and four equivalent Sb atoms to form distorted MnMn8Sb4 cuboctahedra that share corners with twelve equivalent MnMn8Sb4 cuboctahedra, edges with eight equivalent SbMn12 cuboctahedra, edges with sixteen equivalent MnMn8Sb4 cuboctahedra, faces with four equivalent SbMn12 cuboctahedra, and faces with fourteen equivalent MnMn8Sb4 cuboctahedra. All Mn–Mn bond lengths are 2.70 Å. All Mn–Sb bond lengths are 2.70 Å. Sb is bonded to twelve equivalent Mn atoms to form SbMn12 cuboctahedra that share corners with twelve equivalent SbMn12 cuboctahedra, edges with twenty-four equivalent MnMn8Sb4 cuboctahedra, faces with six equivalent SbMn12 cuboctahedra, and faces with twelve equivalent MnMn8Sb4 cuboctahedra.
