Materials Data on Na6ZnSn2 by Materials Project
Na6ZnSn2 crystallizes in the monoclinic C2/m space group. The structure is three-dimensional. there are three inequivalent Na sites. In the first Na site, Na is bonded in a distorted trigonal planar geometry to two equivalent Na and three equivalent Sn atoms. There are one shorter (3.28 Å) and one longer (3.49 Å) Na–Na bond lengths. There are one shorter (3.26 Å) and two longer (3.30 Å) Na–Sn bond lengths. In the second Na site, Na is bonded in a 1-coordinate geometry to one Na and four equivalent Sn atoms. The Na–Na bond length is 3.25 Å. There are a spread of Na–Sn bond distances ranging from 3.18–3.74 Å. In the third Na site, Na is bonded in a 3-coordinate geometry to five Na, three equivalent Zn, and three equivalent Sn atoms. Both Na–Na bond lengths are 3.22 Å. There are one shorter (3.13 Å) and two longer (3.47 Å) Na–Zn bond lengths. There are two shorter (3.34 Å) and one longer (3.55 Å) Na–Sn bond lengths. Zn is bonded in a 4-coordinate geometry to six equivalent Na and two equivalent Sn atoms. Both Zn–Sn bond lengths are 2.61 Å. Sn is bonded in a 11-coordinate geometry to ten Na and one Zn atom.
