Materials Data on Hf5Sn3 by Materials Project
Hf5Sn3 crystallizes in the hexagonal P6_3/mcm space group. The structure is three-dimensional. there are two inequivalent Hf sites. In the first Hf site, Hf is bonded in a 5-coordinate geometry to five equivalent Sn atoms. There are a spread of Hf–Sn bond distances ranging from 2.91–3.13 Å. In the second Hf site, Hf is bonded in a 6-coordinate geometry to six equivalent Sn atoms. All Hf–Sn bond lengths are 2.97 Å. Sn is bonded in a 9-coordinate geometry to nine Hf atoms.
