Materials Data on Th2Zn17 by Materials Project
Abstract
Th2Zn17 crystallizes in the hexagonal P6_3/mmc space group. The structure is three-dimensional. there are two inequivalent Th sites. In the first Th site, Th is bonded in a 12-coordinate geometry to eighteen Zn atoms. There are a spread of Th–Zn bond distances ranging from 3.18–3.49 Å. In the second Th site, Th is bonded in a 8-coordinate geometry to twenty Zn atoms. There are a spread of Th–Zn bond distances ranging from 3.14–3.43 Å. There are four inequivalent Zn sites. In the first Zn site, Zn is bonded in a 2-coordinate geometry to one Th and thirteen Zn atoms. There are a spread of Zn–Zn bond distances ranging from 2.56–2.97 Å. In the second Zn site, Zn is bonded to two equivalent Th and ten Zn atoms to form ZnTh2Zn10 cuboctahedra that share corners with twenty-two ZnTh2Zn10 cuboctahedra, edges with ten ZnTh3Zn9 cuboctahedra, and faces with eighteen ZnTh2Zn10 cuboctahedra. There are four shorter (2.62 Å) and four longer (2.67 Å) Zn–Zn bond lengths. In the third Zn site, Zn is bonded to two Th and ten Zn atoms to form a mixture of distorted face, edge, and corner-sharing ZnTh2Zn10 cuboctahedra. There are a spread of Zn–Zn bond distances ranging frommore »
