Materials Data on Sr5Sn3 by Materials Project

Sr5Sn3 crystallizes in the tetragonal I4/mcm space group. The structure is three-dimensional. there are two inequivalent Sr sites. In the first Sr site, Sr is bonded in a square co-planar geometry to four equivalent Sn atoms. All Sr–Sn bond lengths are 3.43 Å. In the second Sr site, Sr is bonded to five Sn atoms to form a mixture of distorted edge, corner, and face-sharing SrSn5 trigonal bipyramids. There are a spread of Sr–Sn bond distances ranging from 3.40–3.65 Å. There are two inequivalent Sn sites. In the first Sn site, Sn is bonded in a 8-coordinate geometry to eight equivalent Sr atoms. In the second Sn site, Sn is bonded in a 9-coordinate geometry to eight Sr and one Sn atom. The Sn–Sn bond length is 2.96 Å.
