RhCuZn2 crystallizes in the orthorhombic Immm space group. The structure is one-dimensional and consists of two RhCuZn2 ribbons oriented in the (1, 0, 0) direction. Rh is bonded in a linear geometry to two equivalent Zn atoms. Both Rh–Zn bond lengths are 2.41 Å. Cu is bonded in a linear geometry to two equivalent Zn atoms. Both Cu–Zn bond lengths are 2.35 Å. Zn is bonded in a linear geometry to one Rh and one Cu atom.
RhCuZn2 is Heusler structured and crystallizes in the cubic Fm-3m space group. The structure is three-dimensional. Rh is bonded in a body-centered cubic geometry to eight equivalent Zn atoms. All Rh–Zn bond lengths are 2.60 Å. Cu is bonded in a distorted body-centered cubic geometry to eight equivalent Zn atoms. All Cu–Zn bond lengths are 2.60 Å. Zn is bonded in a body-centered cubic geometry to four equivalent Rh and four equivalent Cu atoms.
