Materials Data on TbSc by Materials Project
TbSc crystallizes in the hexagonal P-6m2 space group. The structure is three-dimensional. Tb is bonded to six equivalent Tb and six equivalent Sc atoms to form distorted TbTb6Sc6 cuboctahedra that share corners with eighteen equivalent TbTb6Sc6 cuboctahedra, edges with six equivalent TbTb6Sc6 cuboctahedra, edges with twelve equivalent ScTb6Sc6 cuboctahedra, faces with eight equivalent TbTb6Sc6 cuboctahedra, and faces with twelve equivalent ScTb6Sc6 cuboctahedra. All Tb–Tb bond lengths are 3.50 Å. All Tb–Sc bond lengths are 3.37 Å. Sc is bonded to six equivalent Tb and six equivalent Sc atoms to form distorted ScTb6Sc6 cuboctahedra that share corners with eighteen equivalent ScTb6Sc6 cuboctahedra, edges with six equivalent ScTb6Sc6 cuboctahedra, edges with twelve equivalent TbTb6Sc6 cuboctahedra, faces with eight equivalent ScTb6Sc6 cuboctahedra, and faces with twelve equivalent TbTb6Sc6 cuboctahedra. All Sc–Sc bond lengths are 3.50 Å.
