Title: Materials Data on Ce5Sn4 by Materials Project

Abstract

Ce5Sn4 is Magnesium tetraboride-like structured and crystallizes in the orthorhombic Pnma space group. The structure is three-dimensional. there are three inequivalent Ce sites. In the first Ce site, Ce is bonded in a 6-coordinate geometry to six Sn atoms. There are a spread of Ce–Sn bond distances ranging from 3.17–3.36 Å. In the second Ce site, Ce is bonded in a 7-coordinate geometry to seven Sn atoms. There are a spread of Ce–Sn bond distances ranging from 3.22–3.69 Å. In the third Ce site, Ce is bonded to six Sn atoms to form distorted corner-sharing CeSn6 octahedra. The corner-sharing octahedra tilt angles range from 47–60°. There are a spread of Ce–Sn bond distances ranging from 3.21–3.49 Å. There are three inequivalent Sn sites. In the first Sn site, Sn is bonded in a 9-coordinate geometry to eight Ce and one Sn atom. The Sn–Sn bond length is 2.96 Å. In the second Sn site, Sn is bonded in a 8-coordinate geometry to eight Ce atoms. In the third Sn site, Sn is bonded in a 9-coordinate geometry to eight Ce and one Sn atom.
