Materials Data on YZnSn by Materials Project
YZnSn crystallizes in the hexagonal P6_3/mmc space group. The structure is three-dimensional. there are two inequivalent Y sites. In the first Y site, Y is bonded to six equivalent Sn atoms to form edge-sharing YSn6 octahedra. All Y–Sn bond lengths are 3.19 Å. In the second Y site, Y is bonded in a 12-coordinate geometry to six equivalent Zn and six equivalent Sn atoms. All Y–Zn bond lengths are 2.97 Å. All Y–Sn bond lengths are 3.41 Å. Zn is bonded in a 6-coordinate geometry to three equivalent Y and three equivalent Sn atoms. All Zn–Sn bond lengths are 2.71 Å. Sn is bonded in a 6-coordinate geometry to six Y and three equivalent Zn atoms.
