Materials Data on Dy5Sb3 by Materials Project
Dy5Sb3 crystallizes in the hexagonal P6_3/mcm space group. The structure is three-dimensional. there are two inequivalent Dy sites. In the first Dy site, Dy is bonded in a 6-coordinate geometry to six equivalent Sb atoms. All Dy–Sb bond lengths are 3.20 Å. In the second Dy site, Dy is bonded in a 5-coordinate geometry to five equivalent Sb atoms. There are a spread of Dy–Sb bond distances ranging from 3.07–3.38 Å. Sb is bonded in a 9-coordinate geometry to nine Dy atoms.
