Materials Data on V6GaSb by Materials Project
V6GaSb crystallizes in the cubic Pm-3 space group. The structure is three-dimensional. V is bonded in a 6-coordinate geometry to two equivalent V, two equivalent Ga, and two equivalent Sb atoms. There are one shorter (2.37 Å) and one longer (2.50 Å) V–V bond lengths. Both V–Ga bond lengths are 2.71 Å. Both V–Sb bond lengths are 2.74 Å. Ga is bonded to twelve equivalent V atoms to form GaV12 cuboctahedra that share edges with six equivalent GaV12 cuboctahedra and faces with eight equivalent SbV12 cuboctahedra. Sb is bonded to twelve equivalent V atoms to form SbV12 cuboctahedra that share edges with six equivalent SbV12 cuboctahedra and faces with eight equivalent GaV12 cuboctahedra.
