Materials Data on Yb(ZnSi)2 by Materials Project

Yb(ZnSi)2 crystallizes in the tetragonal I4/mmm space group. The structure is three-dimensional. Yb is bonded in a 8-coordinate geometry to eight equivalent Zn and eight equivalent Si atoms. All Yb–Zn bond lengths are 3.29 Å. All Yb–Si bond lengths are 3.20 Å. Zn is bonded to four equivalent Yb and four equivalent Si atoms to form a mixture of distorted edge, corner, and face-sharing ZnYb4Si4 tetrahedra. All Zn–Si bond lengths are 2.51 Å. Si is bonded in a 9-coordinate geometry to four equivalent Yb, four equivalent Zn, and one Si atom. The Si–Si bond length is 2.33 Å.
