Materials Data on NdSbSe by Materials Project
NdSbSe is Matlockite structured and crystallizes in the monoclinic P2_1/c space group. The structure is three-dimensional. Nd3+ is bonded in a 5-coordinate geometry to four equivalent Sb1- and five equivalent Se2- atoms. There are a spread of Nd–Sb bond distances ranging from 3.41–3.47 Å. There are a spread of Nd–Se bond distances ranging from 3.05–3.09 Å. Sb1- is bonded in a 8-coordinate geometry to four equivalent Nd3+ and four equivalent Sb1- atoms. There are a spread of Sb–Sb bond distances ranging from 2.93–3.07 Å. Se2- is bonded to five equivalent Nd3+ atoms to form a mixture of distorted edge and corner-sharing SeNd5 trigonal bipyramids.
