“…This final refined structure for the Sb 6 O 13 oxide is strongly endorsed by one of our recent reports, where some of our group revisited the general structural data of a pyrochlore family with a similar ( B 2 O 6 ) framework 24 . Certainly, the shift of the O′ atoms to the 32 e ( x , x , x ) sites, concerning the lower-multiplicity 8 a (1/8,1/8,1/8) position, has been confirmed as a recurrent peculiarity throughout the whole pyrochlore family 24 . Indeed, in Sb 6 O 13 , the distribution of Sb 3+ ions at 96 g instead of 16 c Wyckoff positions is presumably due to the lone electron pair and its stereochemical effect, that would displace, by repulsion forces, the Sb′ atom about 0.353(9) Å from the (0,0,0) position to an adjacent 96 g ( x , x , z ) site, with six-times greater multiplicity.…”
