Materials Data on Mg3Sb by Materials Project

Mg3Sb is alpha bismuth trifluoride structured and crystallizes in the cubic Fm-3m space group. The structure is three-dimensional. there are two inequivalent Mg sites. In the first Mg site, Mg is bonded in a body-centered cubic geometry to eight equivalent Mg atoms. All Mg–Mg bond lengths are 3.16 Å. In the second Mg site, Mg is bonded to four equivalent Mg and four equivalent Sb atoms to form a mixture of distorted edge, face, and corner-sharing MgMg4Sb4 tetrahedra. All Mg–Sb bond lengths are 3.16 Å. Sb is bonded in a body-centered cubic geometry to eight equivalent Mg atoms.
