Abstract
Ca5In2Sb6 crystallizes in the orthorhombic Pbam space group. The structure is three-dimensional. there are three inequivalent Ca2+ sites. In the first Ca2+ site, Ca2+ is bonded to seven Sb+2.67- atoms to form distorted CaSb7 pentagonal bipyramids that share corners with nine CaSb6 octahedra, corners with four equivalent InSb4 tetrahedra, edges with two equivalent CaSb6 octahedra, edges with two equivalent CaSb7 pentagonal bipyramids, edges with two equivalent InSb4 tetrahedra, faces with two CaSb6 octahedra, and faces with three equivalent CaSb7 pentagonal bipyramids. The corner-sharing octahedra tilt angles range from 31–44°. There are a spread of Ca–Sb bond distances ranging from 3.29–3.69 Å. In the second Ca2+ site, Ca2+ is bonded to six Sb+2.67- atoms to form CaSb6 octahedra that share corners with five CaSb6 octahedra, corners with seven equivalent CaSb7 pentagonal bipyramids, edges with two equivalent CaSb6 octahedra, edges with two equivalent CaSb7 pentagonal bipyramids, edges with four equivalent InSb4 tetrahedra, a faceface with one CaSb6 octahedra, and a faceface with one CaSb7 pentagonal bipyramid. The corner-sharing octahedra tilt angles range from 30–49°. There are a spread of Ca–Sb bond distances ranging from 3.25–3.30 Å. In the third Ca2+ site, Ca2+ is bonded to six Sb+2.67- atoms to form CaSb6 octahedramore »

In the first Sb+2.67- site, Sb+2.67- is bonded in a 5-coordinate geometry to six Ca2+, one In3+, and one Sb+2.67- atom. The Sb–Sb bond length is 2.91 Å. In the second Sb+2.67- site, Sb+2.67- is bonded to six Ca2+ and one In3+ atom to form a mixture of distorted corner, edge, and face-sharing SbCa6In pentagonal bipyramids. In the third Sb+2.67- site, Sb+2.67- is bonded in a 6-coordinate geometry to four Ca2+ and two equivalent In3+ atoms.},
