Materials Data on MnZn3 by Materials Project

Abstract

MnZn3 is Uranium Silicide structured and crystallizes in the cubic Pm-3m space group. The structure is three-dimensional. Mn is bonded to twelve equivalent Zn atoms to form MnZn12 cuboctahedra that share corners with twelve equivalent MnZn12 cuboctahedra, edges with twenty-four equivalent ZnMn4Zn8 cuboctahedra, faces with six equivalent MnZn12 cuboctahedra, and faces with twelve equivalent ZnMn4Zn8 cuboctahedra. All Mn–Zn bond lengths are 2.70 Å. Zn is bonded to four equivalent Mn and eight equivalent Zn atoms to form ZnMn4Zn8 cuboctahedra that share corners with twelve equivalent ZnMn4Zn8 cuboctahedra, edges with eight equivalent MnZn12 cuboctahedra, edges with sixteen equivalent ZnMn4Zn8 cuboctahedra, faces with four equivalent MnZn12 cuboctahedra, and faces with fourteen equivalent ZnMn4Zn8 cuboctahedra. All Zn–Zn bond lengths are 2.70 Å.
