Materials Data on PaSb3 by Materials Project
PaSb3 crystallizes in the hexagonal P6_3/mmc space group. The structure is three-dimensional. Pa3+ is bonded to twelve equivalent Sb1- atoms to form a mixture of face and corner-sharing PaSb12 cuboctahedra. There are six shorter (3.18 Å) and six longer (3.49 Å) Pa–Sb bond lengths. Sb1- is bonded in a 2-coordinate geometry to four equivalent Pa3+ and four equivalent Sb1- atoms. There are two shorter (3.09 Å) and two longer (3.27 Å) Sb–Sb bond lengths.
