The compound described by Sn5(Rh3B)2 crystallizes in the hexagonal P-62m space group. Rh(1) is bonded in a 7-coordinate geometry to one B(1), one B(2), two equivalent Sn(2), and three equivalent Sn(1) atoms. There are two inequivalent B sites. In the first B site, B(1) is bonded in a distorted pentagonal pyramidal geometry to six equivalent Rh(1) atoms. In the second B site, B(2) is bonded in a 6-coordinate geometry to six equivalent Rh(1) and three equivalent Sn(1) atoms. There are two inequivalent Sn sites. In the first Sn site, Sn(1) is bonded in a 7-coordinate geometry to six equivalent Rh(1) and one B(2) atom. In the second Sn site, Sn(2) is bonded in a 6-coordinate geometry to six equivalent Rh(1) atoms. is represented by the Crystallographic Information File (CIF) [CIF]
