Materials Data on Tb5Rh3 by Materials Project
Tb5Rh3 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 six equivalent Rh atoms to form a mixture of distorted corner, edge, and face-sharing TbRh6 octahedra. The corner-sharing octahedral tilt angles are 35°. All Tb–Rh bond lengths are 3.02 Å. In the second Tb site, Tb is bonded in a 5-coordinate geometry to five equivalent Rh atoms. There are a spread of Tb–Rh bond distances ranging from 2.88–3.37 Å. Rh is bonded in a 9-coordinate geometry to nine Tb atoms.
