Materials Data on YbMnSb2 by Materials Project
YbMnSb2 crystallizes in the tetragonal I4/mmm space group. The structure is three-dimensional. there are two inequivalent Yb3+ sites. In the first Yb3+ site, Yb3+ is bonded in a 8-coordinate geometry to eight Sb+2.50- atoms. All Yb–Sb bond lengths are 3.30 Å. In the second Yb3+ site, Yb3+ is bonded in a 8-coordinate geometry to eight Sb+2.50- atoms. All Yb–Sb bond lengths are 3.30 Å. Mn2+ is bonded to four Sb+2.50- atoms to form a mixture of corner and edge-sharing MnSb4 tetrahedra. All Mn–Sb bond lengths are 2.69 Å. There are six inequivalent Sb+2.50- sites. In the first Sb+2.50- site, Sb+2.50- is bonded in a 8-coordinate geometry to four equivalent Yb3+ and four equivalent Mn2+ atoms.
