The Materials Project

MgZn2 crystallizes in the orthorhombic Cmcm space group. The structure is three-dimensional. Mg is bonded in a 9-coordinate geometry to nine Zn atoms. There are a spread of Mg–Zn bond distances ranging from 2.73–2.98 Å. There are two inequivalent Zn sites. In the first Zn site, Zn is bonded in a 7-coordinate geometry to five equivalent Mg and two equivalent Zn atoms. Both Zn–Zn bond lengths are 2.64 Å. In the second Zn site, Zn is bonded in a 10-coordinate geometry to four equivalent Mg and four Zn atoms. Both Zn–Zn bond lengths are 2.64 Å.
