Materials Data on TmZn3 by Materials Project
TmZn3 crystallizes in the orthorhombic Pnma space group. The structure is three-dimensional. Tm is bonded in a 11-coordinate geometry to fourteen Zn atoms. There are a spread of Tm–Zn bond distances ranging from 2.96–3.42 Å. There are three inequivalent Zn sites. In the first Zn site, Zn is bonded in a 10-coordinate geometry to five equivalent Tm and five Zn atoms. There are a spread of Zn–Zn bond distances ranging from 2.58–2.75 Å. In the second Zn site, Zn is bonded in a 12-coordinate geometry to five equivalent Tm and seven Zn atoms. There are a spread of Zn–Zn bond distances ranging from 2.57–3.05 Å. In the third Zn site, Zn is bonded in a 10-coordinate geometry to four equivalent Tm and six Zn atoms.
