Materials Data on CdSb3 by Materials Project
CdSb3 is beta Cu3Ti-like structured and crystallizes in the hexagonal P6_3/mmc space group. The structure is three-dimensional. Cd2+ is bonded to twelve equivalent Sb+0.67- atoms to form a mixture of face and corner-sharing CdSb12 cuboctahedra. There are six shorter (3.30 Å) and six longer (3.41 Å) Cd–Sb bond lengths. Sb+0.67- is bonded in a 12-coordinate geometry to four equivalent Cd2+ and eight equivalent Sb+0.67- atoms. There are a spread of Sb–Sb bond distances ranging from 3.20–3.47 Å.
