Materials Data on Tb5CuPb3 by Materials Project
Tb5CuPb3 crystallizes in the hexagonal P6_3/mcm space group. The structure is three-dimensional. there are two inequivalent Tb sites. In the first Tb site, Tb is bonded to two equivalent Cu and five equivalent Pb atoms to form a mixture of distorted corner, edge, and face-sharing TbCu2Pb5 pentagonal bipyramids. Both Tb–Cu bond lengths are 2.88 Å. There are a spread of Tb–Pb bond distances ranging from 3.17–3.57 Å. In the second Tb site, Tb is bonded in a 6-coordinate geometry to six equivalent Pb atoms. All Tb–Pb bond lengths are 3.30 Å. Cu is bonded to six equivalent Tb atoms to form face-sharing CuTb6 octahedra. Pb is bonded in a 9-coordinate geometry to nine Tb atoms.
