Materials Data on Nb6SnGe by Materials Project

Nb6SnGe crystallizes in the cubic Pm-3 space group. The structure is three-dimensional. Nb is bonded in a 6-coordinate geometry to two equivalent Nb, two equivalent Sn, and two equivalent Ge atoms. There are one shorter (2.55 Å) and one longer (2.71 Å) Nb–Nb bond lengths. Both Nb–Sn bond lengths are 2.96 Å. Both Nb–Ge bond lengths are 2.92 Å. Sn is bonded to twelve equivalent Nb atoms to form SnNb12 cuboctahedra that share edges with six equivalent SnNb12 cuboctahedra and faces with eight equivalent GeNb12 cuboctahedra. Ge is bonded to twelve equivalent Nb atoms to form GeNb12 cuboctahedra that share edges with six equivalent GeNb12 cuboctahedra and faces with eight equivalent SnNb12 cuboctahedra.
