Materials Data on NdZnSn by Materials Project
NdZnSn crystallizes in the hexagonal P6_3/mmc space group. The structure is three-dimensional. there are two inequivalent Nd sites. In the first Nd site, Nd is bonded to six equivalent Sn atoms to form distorted edge-sharing NdSn6 octahedra. All Nd–Sn bond lengths are 3.26 Å. In the second Nd site, Nd is bonded in a 12-coordinate geometry to six equivalent Zn and six equivalent Sn atoms. All Nd–Zn bond lengths are 3.06 Å. All Nd–Sn bond lengths are 3.46 Å. Zn is bonded in a 6-coordinate geometry to three equivalent Nd and three equivalent Sn atoms. All Zn–Sn bond lengths are 2.74 Å. Sn is bonded in a 6-coordinate geometry to six Nd and three equivalent Zn atoms.
