Y2CuZn is Heusler structured and crystallizes in the cubic Fm-3m space group. The structure is three-dimensional. Y is bonded in a body-centered cubic geometry to four equivalent Cu and four equivalent Zn atoms. All Y–Cu bond lengths are 3.05 Å. All Y–Zn bond lengths are 3.05 Å. Cu is bonded in a body-centered cubic geometry to eight equivalent Y atoms. Zn is bonded in a body-centered cubic geometry to eight equivalent Y atoms.
Y2CuZn crystallizes in the orthorhombic Immm space group. The structure is one-dimensional and consists of two Y2CuZn ribbons oriented in the (0, 1, 0) direction. Y is bonded in a linear geometry to one Cu and one Zn atom. The Y–Cu bond length is 2.79 Å. The Y–Zn bond length is 2.97 Å. Cu is bonded in a linear geometry to two equivalent Y atoms. Zn is bonded in a linear geometry to two equivalent Y atoms.
