Materials Data on Sn4Rh by Materials Project
RhSn4 crystallizes in the trigonal P3_121 space group. The structure is three-dimensional. Rh is bonded in a 8-coordinate geometry to eight Sn atoms. There are a spread of Rh–Sn bond distances ranging from 2.76–2.90 Å. There are three inequivalent Sn sites. In the first Sn site, Sn is bonded in a 2-coordinate geometry to two equivalent Rh atoms. In the second Sn site, Sn is bonded in a distorted water-like geometry to two equivalent Rh atoms. In the third Sn site, Sn is bonded in a distorted bent 120 degrees geometry to two equivalent Rh atoms.
