Materials Data on ZnSiP2 by Materials Project
ZnSiP2 is Heusler structured and crystallizes in the cubic Fm-3m space group. The structure is three-dimensional and consists of one SiP2 framework and four zinc molecules. In the SiP2 framework, Si4- is bonded in a body-centered cubic geometry to eight equivalent P1+ atoms. All Si–P bond lengths are 2.69 Å. P1+ is bonded to four equivalent Si4- atoms to form a mixture of corner and edge-sharing PSi4 tetrahedra.
