Materials Data on Cu2Sb by Materials Project
Cu2Sb crystallizes in the tetragonal P4/nmm space group. The structure is three-dimensional. there are two inequivalent Cu+1.50+ sites. In the first Cu+1.50+ site, Cu+1.50+ is bonded in a 4-coordinate geometry to four equivalent Sb3- atoms. All Cu–Sb bond lengths are 2.73 Å. In the second Cu+1.50+ site, Cu+1.50+ is bonded to five equivalent Sb3- atoms to form a mixture of distorted corner and edge-sharing CuSb5 square pyramids. There are one shorter (2.66 Å) and four longer (2.84 Å) Cu–Sb bond lengths. Sb3- is bonded in a 9-coordinate geometry to nine Cu+1.50+ atoms.
