Materials Data on SmAlZn by Materials Project
SmZnAl crystallizes in the monoclinic C2/m space group. The structure is three-dimensional. Sm is bonded in a 12-coordinate geometry to six equivalent Zn and six equivalent Al atoms. There are a spread of Sm–Zn bond distances ranging from 3.08–3.34 Å. There are a spread of Sm–Al bond distances ranging from 3.14–3.34 Å. Zn is bonded in a 10-coordinate geometry to six equivalent Sm, one Zn, and three equivalent Al atoms. The Zn–Zn bond length is 2.64 Å. There are two shorter (2.64 Å) and one longer (2.92 Å) Zn–Al bond lengths. Al is bonded in a 10-coordinate geometry to six equivalent Sm, three equivalent Zn, and one Al atom. The Al–Al bond length is 2.61 Å.
