Abstract

Mg6HfSb crystallizes in the orthorhombic Amm2 space group. The structure is three-dimensional. there are seven inequivalent Mg sites. In the first Mg site, Mg is bonded to eight Mg, two equivalent Hf, and two equivalent Sb atoms to form distorted MgHf2Mg8Sb2 cuboctahedra that share corners with four equivalent SbHf2Mg10 cuboctahedra, corners with fourteen MgHf2Mg8Sb2 cuboctahedra, edges with two equivalent SbHf2Mg10 cuboctahedra, edges with four equivalent HfMg10Sb2 cuboctahedra, edges with twelve MgHf2Mg8Sb2 cuboctahedra, faces with two equivalent HfMg10Sb2 cuboctahedra, faces with two equivalent SbHf2Mg10 cuboctahedra, and faces with sixteen MgHf2Mg8Sb2 cuboctahedra. There are a spread of Mg–Mg bond distances ranging from 3.11–3.26 Å. Both Mg–Hf bond lengths are 3.17 Å. There are one shorter (3.13 Å) and one longer (3.20 Å) Mg–Sb bond lengths.
