Materials Data on CeZnSi by Materials Project
CeZnSi is hexagonal omega structure-derived structured and crystallizes in the hexagonal P-6m2 space group. The structure is three-dimensional. Ce is bonded to six equivalent Zn and six equivalent Si atoms to form a mixture of edge and face-sharing CeZn6Si6 cuboctahedra. All Ce–Zn bond lengths are 3.18 Å. All Ce–Si bond lengths are 3.18 Å. Zn is bonded in a distorted trigonal planar geometry to six equivalent Ce and three equivalent Si atoms. All Zn–Si bond lengths are 2.42 Å. Si is bonded in a 3-coordinate geometry to six equivalent Ce and three equivalent Zn atoms.
