Materials Data on Rb3Sb by Materials Project
Rb3Sb is Sodium arsenide structured and crystallizes in the hexagonal P6_3/mmc space group. The structure is three-dimensional. there are two inequivalent Rb1+ sites. In the first Rb1+ site, Rb1+ is bonded in a trigonal planar geometry to three equivalent Sb3- atoms. All Rb–Sb bond lengths are 3.71 Å. In the second Rb1+ site, Rb1+ is bonded in a 1-coordinate geometry to four equivalent Sb3- atoms. There are one shorter (3.77 Å) and three longer (4.18 Å) Rb–Sb bond lengths. Sb3- is bonded to eleven Rb1+ atoms to form a mixture of distorted edge and face-sharing SbRb11 trigonal bipyramids.
