Abstract

Tb2Rh3Sn5 crystallizes in the orthorhombic Cmc2_1 space group. The structure is three-dimensional. there are two inequivalent Tb sites. In the first Tb site, Tb is bonded in a 8-coordinate geometry to two equivalent Rh and six Sn atoms. Both Tb–Rh bond lengths are 3.26 Å. There are a spread of Tb–Sn bond distances ranging from 3.17–3.22 Å. In the second Tb site, Tb is bonded in a 1-coordinate geometry to five Rh and eight Sn atoms. There are a spread of Tb–Rh bond distances ranging from 2.86–3.35 Å. There are a spread of Tb–Sn bond distances ranging from 3.16–3.40 Å. There are three inequivalent Rh sites. In the first Rh site, Rh is bonded in a 9-coordinate geometry to three Tb and six Sn atoms. There are a spread of Rh–Sn bond distances ranging from 2.67–2.91 Å. In the second Rh site, Rh is bonded in a 9-coordinate geometry to four equivalent Tb and five Sn atoms. There are a spread of Rh–Sn bond distances ranging from 2.64–2.78 Å. In the third Rh site, Rh is bonded in a 7-coordinate geometry to seven Sn atoms. There are a spread of Rh–Sn bond distances ranging from 2.73–2.80 Å. There are five inequivalent Sn sites. In the first Sn site, Sn is bonded in a 4-coordinate geometry to two equivalent Tb and four Rh atoms. In the second Sn site, Sn is bonded in a 6-coordinate geometry to two equivalent Tb and four Rh atoms. In the third Sn site, Sn is bonded in a 3-coordinate geometry to four Tb, three Rh, and one Sn atom. The Sn–Sn bond length is 3.15 Å. In the fourth Sn site, Sn is bonded in a 12-coordinate geometry to four equivalent Tb and four Rh atoms. In the fifth Sn site, Sn is bonded in a 5-coordinate geometry to two equivalent Tb, three equivalent Rh, and one Sn atom.
