Synthesis and Crystal and Electronic Structures of the Zintl Phase Sr21Cd4Sb18
Abstract
Reported herein are the synthesis and crystal chemistry analysis of the Zintl phase Sr21Cd4Sb18. Single crystals of this compound were grown using the Sn-flux method, and structural characterization was carried out using single-crystal X-ray diffraction. Crystal data: Monoclinic space group C2/m (No. 12, Z = 4); a = 18.2536(6) Å, b = 17.4018(5) Å, and c = 17.8979(6) Å, β = 92.024(1)°. The structure is based on edge- and corner-shared CdSb4 tetrahedra, which ultimately form octameric [Cd8Sb22] fragments, where two symmetry-equivalent subunits are connected via a homoatomic Sb–Sb interaction. The electronic band structure calculations contained herein reveal the emergence of a direct gap between the valence and the conduction bands.
