Materials Data on Hg3Sb by Materials Project
(Hg)2HgSb is alpha Niobium phosphide-like structured and crystallizes in the tetragonal I4/mmm space group. The structure is two-dimensional and consists of two Hg sheets oriented in the (0, 0, 1) direction and two HgSb sheets oriented in the (0, 0, 1) direction. In each Hg sheet, Hg1+ is bonded in a square co-planar geometry to four equivalent Hg1+ atoms. All Hg–Hg bond lengths are 3.11 Å. In each HgSb sheet, Hg1+ is bonded in a square co-planar geometry to four equivalent Sb3- atoms. All Hg–Sb bond lengths are 3.11 Å. Sb3- is bonded in a square co-planar geometry to four equivalent Hg1+ atoms.
