Materials Data on ZnAg by Materials Project

Abstract

AgZn crystallizes in the hexagonal P-6m2 space group. The structure is three-dimensional. Ag is bonded to six equivalent Ag and six equivalent Zn atoms to form distorted AgZn6Ag6 cuboctahedra that share corners with eighteen equivalent AgZn6Ag6 cuboctahedra, edges with six equivalent AgZn6Ag6 cuboctahedra, edges with twelve equivalent ZnZn6Ag6 cuboctahedra, faces with eight equivalent AgZn6Ag6 cuboctahedra, and faces with twelve equivalent ZnZn6Ag6 cuboctahedra. All Ag–Ag bond lengths are 2.91 Å. All Ag–Zn bond lengths are 2.81 Å. Zn is bonded to six equivalent Ag and six equivalent Zn atoms to form distorted ZnZn6Ag6 cuboctahedra that share corners with eighteen equivalent ZnZn6Ag6 cuboctahedra, edges with six equivalent ZnZn6Ag6 cuboctahedra, edges with twelve equivalent AgZn6Ag6 cuboctahedra, faces with eight equivalent ZnZn6Ag6 cuboctahedra, and faces with twelve equivalent AgZn6Ag6 cuboctahedra. All Zn–Zn bond lengths are 2.91 Å.
