Materials Data on Nd4Sb3 by Materials Project
Nd4Sb3 crystallizes in the cubic I-43d space group. The structure is three-dimensional. Nd+2.25+ is bonded to six equivalent Sb3- atoms to form a mixture of distorted face, edge, and corner-sharing NdSb6 octahedra. The corner-sharing octahedra tilt angles range from 19–49°. There are three shorter (3.17 Å) and three longer (3.43 Å) Nd–Sb bond lengths. Sb3- is bonded to eight equivalent Nd+2.25+ atoms to form a mixture of distorted face, edge, and corner-sharing SbNd8 hexagonal bipyramids.
