Eu3Sb is beta Cu3Ti-like structured and crystallizes in the hexagonal P6_3/mmc space group. Eu(1) is bonded in a distorted see-saw-like geometry to four equivalent Sb(1) atoms. Sb(1) is bonded to twelve equivalent Eu(1) atoms to form a mixture of corner and face-sharing SbEu12 cuboctahedra.
Eu3Sb is beta Cu3Ti-like structured and crystallizes in the hexagonal P6_3/mmc space group. Eu(1) is bonded in a distorted see-saw-like geometry to four equivalent Sb(1) atoms. There are two shorter (3.50 Å) and two longer (3.62 Å) Eu(1)-Sb(1) bond lengths. Sb(1) is bonded to twelve equivalent Eu(1) atoms to form a mixture of corner and face-sharing SbEu12 cuboctahedra.
