Nb Nb Nb Nb Nb Nb Si Sn
Nb6SnSi crystallizes in the trigonal R3 space group. There are two inequivalent Nb sites. In the first Nb site, Nb(1) is bonded in a 2-coordinate geometry to one Nb(2), one Sn(1), and one Si(1) atom. The Nb(1)-Nb(2) bond length is 1.52 Å. The Nb(1)-Sn(1) bond length is 2.73 Å. The Nb(1)-Si(1) bond length is 2.00 Å. In the second Nb site, Nb(2) is bonded in a 3-coordinate geometry to one Nb(1), one Sn(1), and one Si(1) atom. The Nb(2)-Sn(1) bond length is 2.73 Å. The Nb(2)-Si(1) bond length is 2.43 Å. Sn(1) is bonded in a 6-coordinate geometry to three equivalent Nb(1) and three equivalent Nb(2) atoms. Si(1) is bonded in a 3-coordinate geometry to three equivalent Nb(1) and three equivalent Nb(2) atoms.
