Description

CoSb3, Mr=424.2, cubic, Imanti 3, a=9.0385(3) A [9.0775(6) A; two experiments with Cl2 and I2, respectively, as transport agents], V=738.40(7) [748.0(2)] A3, Z=8, Dx=7.63 (7.5B) Mg m-3, Mo Kα, λ=0.71073 A, μ=26.04 (25.71) mm-1, F(000)=1440, T=293 K, R=0.028 (0.031) for 418 (408) reflections. The structure of skutterudites with trigonally distorted CoSb6 octahedra {Co-Sb 2.5287(3) [2.5382(4)] A} and rectangular arrangement of the Sb atoms {Sb-Sb 2.8540(6) [2.8799(8)] and 2.9760(6) [2.9836(9)] A} is confirmed and refined.
