Materials Data on LiZn13 by Materials Project
Li(Zn)13 crystallizes in the cubic Fm-3c space group. The structure is three-dimensional and consists of eight lithium molecules and one Zn framework. In the Zn framework, there are two inequivalent Zn sites. In the first Zn site, Zn is bonded in a cuboctahedral geometry to twelve equivalent Zn atoms. All Zn–Zn bond lengths are 2.66 Å. In the second Zn site, Zn is bonded in a 10-coordinate geometry to ten Zn atoms. There are a spread of Zn–Zn bond distances ranging from 2.56–2.93 Å.
