Materials Data on Y3Sb by Materials Project
Y3Sb is Uranium Silicide-like structured and crystallizes in the hexagonal P6_3/mmc space group. The structure is three-dimensional. Y is bonded in a distorted see-saw-like geometry to four equivalent Sb atoms. There are two shorter (3.38 Å) and two longer (3.43 Å) Y–Sb bond lengths. Sb is bonded to twelve equivalent Y atoms to form a mixture of corner and face-sharing SbY12 cuboctahedra.
