Materials Data on Tm(MnSn)6 by Materials Project
TmMn6Sn6 crystallizes in the hexagonal P6/mmm space group. The structure is three-dimensional. Tm is bonded to eight Sn atoms to form distorted edge-sharing TmSn8 hexagonal bipyramids. There are two shorter (2.99 Å) and six longer (3.14 Å) Tm–Sn bond lengths. Mn is bonded in a 12-coordinate geometry to six Sn atoms. There are a spread of Mn–Sn bond distances ranging from 2.73–2.82 Å. There are three inequivalent Sn sites. In the first Sn site, Sn is bonded in a 6-coordinate geometry to six equivalent Mn atoms. In the second Sn site, Sn is bonded in a 8-coordinate geometry to one Tm, six equivalent Mn, and one Sn atom. The Sn–Sn bond length is 3.01 Å. In the third Sn site, Sn is bonded in a 12-coordinate geometry to three equivalent Tm and six equivalent Mn atoms.
