The Materials Project

YSn2 is Zirconium Disilicide structured and crystallizes in the orthorhombic Cmcm space group. The structure is three-dimensional. Y is bonded in a 10-coordinate geometry to ten Sn atoms. There are a spread of Y–Sn bond distances ranging from 3.17–3.47 Å. There are two inequivalent Sn sites. In the first Sn site, Sn is bonded in a 4-coordinate geometry to six equivalent Y and two equivalent Sn atoms. Both Sn–Sn bond lengths are 3.02 Å. In the second Sn site, Sn is bonded in a 8-coordinate geometry to four equivalent Y and four equivalent Sn atoms. All Sn–Sn bond lengths are 3.12 Å.
