Materials Data on TbZn3 by Materials Project
TbZn3 crystallizes in the orthorhombic Pnma space group. The structure is three-dimensional. Tb is bonded in a 11-coordinate geometry to fourteen Zn atoms. There are a spread of Tb–Zn bond distances ranging from 3.00–3.46 Å. There are three inequivalent Zn sites. In the first Zn site, Zn is bonded in a 10-coordinate geometry to five equivalent Tb and five Zn atoms. There are a spread of Zn–Zn bond distances ranging from 2.58–2.78 Å. In the second Zn site, Zn is bonded in a 12-coordinate geometry to five equivalent Tb and seven Zn atoms. There are a spread of Zn–Zn bond distances ranging from 2.60–3.08 Å. In the third Zn site, Zn is bonded in a 10-coordinate geometry to four equivalent Tb and six Zn atoms.
