Materials Data on YbSbAu by Materials Project
YbAuSb crystallizes in the hexagonal P6_3mc space group. The structure is three-dimensional. Yb3+ is bonded in a 12-coordinate geometry to six equivalent Au1- and six equivalent Sb2- atoms. There are three shorter (3.06 Å) and three longer (3.65 Å) Yb–Au bond lengths. There are three shorter (3.20 Å) and three longer (3.46 Å) Yb–Sb bond lengths. Au1- is bonded in a 10-coordinate geometry to six equivalent Yb3+ and four equivalent Sb2- atoms. There are three shorter (2.82 Å) and one longer (3.09 Å) Au–Sb bond lengths. Sb2- is bonded in a 10-coordinate geometry to six equivalent Yb3+ and four equivalent Au1- atoms.
