The material described by Sm5Sn3 crystallizes in the hexagonal P6_3/mcm space group. There are two inequivalent Sm sites. In the first Sm site, Sm(1) is bonded in a 6-coordinate geometry to six equivalent Sn(1) atoms. In the second Sm site, Sm(2) is bonded in a 5-coordinate geometry to five equivalent Sn(1) atoms. Sn(1) is bonded in a 9-coordinate geometry to four equivalent Sm(1) and five equivalent Sm(2) atoms. is represented by the CIF card [CIF]
