Materials Data on Eu5Sb3 by Materials Project
Eu5Sb3 crystallizes in the hexagonal P6_3/mcm space group. The structure is three-dimensional. there are two inequivalent Eu sites. In the first Eu site, Eu is bonded in a 6-coordinate geometry to six equivalent Sb atoms. All Eu–Sb bond lengths are 3.39 Å. In the second Eu site, Eu is bonded in a 5-coordinate geometry to five equivalent Sb atoms. There are a spread of Eu–Sb bond distances ranging from 3.21–3.76 Å. Sb is bonded in a 9-coordinate geometry to nine Eu atoms.
