Title: Materials Data on TbFe6(Sn2Ge)2 by Materials Project

Abstract

TbFe6Sn4Ge2 crystallizes in the hexagonal P6/mmm space group. The structure is three-dimensional. Tb is bonded to twelve equivalent Fe, two equivalent Sn, and six equivalent Ge atoms to form distorted TbFe12Sn2Ge6 hexagonal bipyramids that share faces with twenty-four equivalent FeTb2Fe4Sn4Ge2 cuboctahedra and faces with six equivalent TbFe12Sn2Ge6 hexagonal bipyramids. All Tb–Fe bond lengths are 3.34 Å. Both Tb–Sn bond lengths are 2.94 Å. All Tb–Ge bond lengths are 3.06 Å. Fe is bonded to two equivalent Tb, four equivalent Fe, four Sn, and two equivalent Ge atoms to form distorted FeTb2Fe4Sn4Ge2 cuboctahedra that share corners with fourteen equivalent FeTb2Fe4Sn4Ge2 cuboctahedra, edges with seven equivalent FeTb2Fe4Sn4Ge2 cuboctahedra, faces with nine equivalent FeTb2Fe4Sn4Ge2 cuboctahedra, and faces with four equivalent TbFe12Sn2Ge6 hexagonal bipyramids. All Fe–Fe bond lengths are 2.65 Å. There are two shorter (2.80 Å) and two longer (2.81 Å) Fe–Sn bond lengths. Both Fe–Ge bond lengths are 2.54 Å. There are two inequivalent Sn sites. In the first Sn site, Sn is bonded in a 6-coordinate geometry to six equivalent Fe atoms. In the second Sn site, Sn is bonded in a 1-coordinate geometry to one Tb, six equivalent Fe, and one Sn atom. The Sn–Sn bond length is 2.85 Å.more » Ge is bonded in a 9-coordinate geometry to three equivalent Tb and six equivalent Fe atoms.« less
