Materials Data on NaZn3 by Materials Project
NaZn3 crystallizes in the hexagonal P6_3/mmc space group. The structure is three-dimensional. Na is bonded to twelve equivalent Zn atoms to form a mixture of face and corner-sharing NaZn12 cuboctahedra. There are six shorter (2.95 Å) and six longer (3.01 Å) Na–Zn bond lengths. Zn is bonded in a 4-coordinate geometry to four equivalent Na atoms.
