Materials Data on YbCu5Sn by Materials Project
Abstract
YbCu5Sn crystallizes in the orthorhombic Pnma space group. The structure is three-dimensional. Yb is bonded in a 6-coordinate geometry to fifteen Cu and four equivalent Sn atoms. There are a spread of Yb–Cu bond distances ranging from 2.91–3.32 Å. There are a spread of Yb–Sn bond distances ranging from 3.25–3.40 Å. There are four inequivalent Cu sites. In the first Cu site, Cu is bonded to three equivalent Yb, seven Cu, and two equivalent Sn atoms to form a mixture of face, edge, and corner-sharing CuYb3Cu7Sn2 cuboctahedra. There are a spread of Cu–Cu bond distances ranging from 2.50–2.60 Å. Both Cu–Sn bond lengths are 2.81 Å. In the second Cu site, Cu is bonded to three equivalent Yb, seven Cu, and two equivalent Sn atoms to form a mixture of face, edge, and corner-sharing CuYb3Cu7Sn2 cuboctahedra. There are a spread of Cu–Cu bond distances ranging from 2.50–2.55 Å. Both Cu–Sn bond lengths are 2.77 Å. In the third Cu site, Cu is bonded in a 12-coordinate geometry to three equivalent Yb, six Cu, and one Sn atom. The Cu–Cu bond length is 3.02 Å. The Cu–Sn bond length is 2.77 Å. In the fourth Cu site, Cu is bonded inmore »
