Materials Data on Th2Zn by Materials Project
Th2Zn is Khatyrkite structured and crystallizes in the tetragonal I4/mcm space group. The structure is three-dimensional. Th is bonded in a 4-coordinate geometry to four equivalent Zn atoms. All Th–Zn bond lengths are 3.20 Å. Zn is bonded in a distorted q6 geometry to eight equivalent Th and two equivalent Zn atoms. Both Zn–Zn bond lengths are 2.79 Å.
