Materials Data on ZnAg3 by Materials Project

Abstract

Ag3Zn is Uranium Silicide structured and crystallizes in the cubic Pm-3m space group. The structure is three-dimensional. Ag is bonded to eight equivalent Ag and four equivalent Zn atoms to form AgZn4Ag8 cuboctahedra that share corners with twelve equivalent AgZn4Ag8 cuboctahedra, edges with eight equivalent ZnAg12 cuboctahedra, edges with sixteen equivalent AgZn4Ag8 cuboctahedra, faces with four equivalent ZnAg12 cuboctahedra, and faces with fourteen equivalent AgZn4Ag8 cuboctahedra. All Ag–Ag bond lengths are 2.90 Å. All Ag–Zn bond lengths are 2.90 Å. Zn is bonded to twelve equivalent Ag atoms to form ZnAg12 cuboctahedra that share corners with twelve equivalent ZnAg12 cuboctahedra, edges with twenty-four equivalent AgZn4Ag8 cuboctahedra, faces with six equivalent ZnAg12 cuboctahedra, and faces with twelve equivalent AgZn4Ag8 cuboctahedra.
