Materials Data on Tb3Ge5 by Materials Project

Abstract

Tb3Ge5 crystallizes in the hexagonal P-62c space group. The structure is three-dimensional. Tb is bonded in a 8-coordinate geometry to ten Ge atoms. There are a spread of Tb–Ge bond distances ranging from 2.97–3.49 Å. There are three inequivalent Ge sites. In the first Ge site, Ge is bonded in a 9-coordinate geometry to six equivalent Tb and three equivalent Ge atoms. All Ge–Ge bond lengths are 2.59 Å. In the second Ge site, Ge is bonded in a 9-coordinate geometry to six equivalent Tb and three equivalent Ge atoms. All Ge–Ge bond lengths are 2.58 Å. In the third Ge site, Ge is bonded in a 4-coordinate geometry to six equivalent Tb and two Ge atoms.
