Materials Data on ZrSn by Materials Project
Abstract
ZrSn crystallizes in the orthorhombic Pmmn space group. The structure is three-dimensional. there are three inequivalent Zr sites. In the first Zr site, Zr is bonded to six Zr and six Sn atoms to form distorted ZrZr6Sn6 cuboctahedra that share corners with two equivalent ZrZr6Sn6 cuboctahedra, corners with sixteen SnZr7Sn5 cuboctahedra, edges with eight SnZr6Sn6 cuboctahedra, edges with ten ZrZr6Sn6 cuboctahedra, faces with ten ZrZr6Sn6 cuboctahedra, and faces with ten SnZr7Sn5 cuboctahedra. There are four shorter (3.21 Å) and two longer (3.27 Å) Zr–Zr bond lengths. There are a spread of Zr–Sn bond distances ranging from 3.15–3.25 Å. In the second Zr site, Zr is bonded to five Zr and seven Sn atoms to form distorted ZrZr5Sn7 cuboctahedra that share corners with eight ZrZr5Sn7 cuboctahedra, corners with ten SnZr7Sn5 cuboctahedra, edges with eight SnZr7Sn5 cuboctahedra, edges with ten ZrZr6Sn6 cuboctahedra, faces with nine ZrZr6Sn6 cuboctahedra, and faces with eleven SnZr7Sn5 cuboctahedra. There are a spread of Zr–Zr bond distances ranging from 3.14–3.24 Å. There are a spread of Zr–Sn bond distances ranging from 3.18–3.25 Å. In the third Zr site, Zr is bonded to six Zr and six Sn atoms to form distorted ZrZr6Sn6 cuboctahedra that share corners with eightmore »
