Yb8Ge3Sb5, a metallic mixed-valent Zintl phase containing the polymeric 1 infinity[Ge3 4-] anions.
Yb8Ge3Sb5 is a nonclassical Zintl phase with metallic properties arising from the electropositive "spectator" cations of Yb. This compound contains the new Zintl anion 1infinity(Ge3)4- and is stabilized via a combination of Yb2+ and Yb3+ ions.
