Materials Data on Lu6MnSb2 by Materials Project
Lu6MnSb2 crystallizes in the hexagonal P-62m space group. The structure is three-dimensional. there are two inequivalent Lu sites. In the first Lu site, Lu is bonded to two equivalent Mn and two equivalent Sb atoms to form a mixture of distorted corner and edge-sharing LuMn2Sb2 tetrahedra. Both Lu–Mn bond lengths are 2.81 Å. Both Lu–Sb bond lengths are 3.13 Å. In the second Lu site, Lu is bonded in a 5-coordinate geometry to one Mn and four equivalent Sb atoms. The Lu–Mn bond length is 3.15 Å. All Lu–Sb bond lengths are 3.22 Å. Mn is bonded in a 9-coordinate geometry to nine Lu atoms. Sb is bonded in a 9-coordinate geometry to nine Lu atoms.
