Materials Data on Er5Sb3 by Materials Project
Er5Sb3 crystallizes in the hexagonal P6_3/mcm space group. The structure is three-dimensional. there are two inequivalent Er sites. In the first Er site, Er is bonded in a 5-coordinate geometry to five equivalent Sb atoms. There are a spread of Er–Sb bond distances ranging from 3.03–3.37 Å. In the second Er site, Er is bonded in a 6-coordinate geometry to six equivalent Sb atoms. All Er–Sb bond lengths are 3.17 Å. Sb is bonded in a 9-coordinate geometry to nine Er atoms.
