Materials Data on Nd(Sb3Ru)4 by Materials Project
Nd(RuSb3)4 crystallizes in the cubic Im-3 space group. The structure is three-dimensional. Nd3+ is bonded to twelve equivalent Sb1- atoms to form NdSb12 cuboctahedra that share faces with eight equivalent RuSb6 octahedra. All Nd–Sb bond lengths are 3.51 Å. Ru+2.25+ is bonded to six equivalent Sb1- atoms to form RuSb6 octahedra that share corners with six equivalent RuSb6 octahedra and faces with two equivalent NdSb12 cuboctahedra. The corner-sharing octahedral tilt angles are 54°. All Ru–Sb bond lengths are 2.64 Å. Sb1- is bonded in a 2-coordinate geometry to one Nd3+, two equivalent Ru+2.25+, and two equivalent Sb1- atoms. There are one shorter (2.97 Å) and one longer (3.02 Å) Sb–Sb bond lengths.
