MA<sub>δ</sub>Sb<sub>2-</sub><sub>δ</sub> (M = Zr, Hf; A = Si, Ge): A New Series of Ternary Antimonides and Not “β-ZrSb<sub>2</sub>”
Bibliographic record
Abstract
The ternary antimonides ZrSi(delta)Sb(2-delta), HfGe(delta)Sb(2-delta), and ZrGe(delta)Sb(2-delta) were prepared by annealing of the elements in stoichiometric ratios below 800 degrees C. ZrSi(delta)Sb(2-delta) was earlier erroneously described as the binary "beta-ZrSb(2)", which does not exist as such, because the incorporation of tetrel atoms is necessary for the formation of this structure. ZrSi(delta)Sb(2-delta) has a small yet significant phase width with at least 0.066(7) < or = delta < or = 0.115(3), whereas the Ge analogues exist with larger tetrel concentration, i.e., ZrGe(0.211(5))Sb(1.789) and HfGe(0.205(6))Sb(1.795). The whole series of title compounds crystallizes in the Co(2)Si type (space group Pnma), with lattice dimensions of, e.g., for ZrGe(0.211(5))Sb(1.789), a = 730.4(1) pm, b = 395.13(6) pm, c = 957.6(2) pm, V = 0.27635(7) nm(3), Z = 4. The anionic substructure comprises infinite ribbons formed by the atom sites Q1 and Sb2, with Q1 being mixed occupied by Si or Ge and Sb atoms. These ribbons exhibit Q1-Q1 single bonds and Q1-Sb2 "half" bonds. Assuming the validity of the 8 - N rule, one can assign seven valence-electrons to Sb2 but only five to Q1, which might explain the preference of the tetrel atoms for the latter site.

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
