Materials Data on ZrSn by Materials Project

Abstract

ZrSn crystallizes in the monoclinic P2_1/m space group. The structure is three-dimensional. there are three inequivalent Zr sites. In the first Zr site, Zr is bonded in a 5-coordinate geometry to five Sn atoms. There are a spread of Zr–Sn bond distances ranging from 3.05–3.19 Å. In the second Zr site, Zr is bonded in a 12-coordinate geometry to five Sn atoms. There are a spread of Zr–Sn bond distances ranging from 2.94–3.32 Å. In the third Zr site, Zr is bonded in a 6-coordinate geometry to six Sn atoms. There are a spread of Zr–Sn bond distances ranging from 2.99–3.18 Å. There are three inequivalent Sn sites. In the first Sn site, Sn is bonded in a 8-coordinate geometry to eight Zr atoms. In the second Sn site, Sn is bonded in a 2-coordinate geometry to three Zr atoms. In the third Sn site, Sn is bonded in a 12-coordinate geometry to five Zr atoms.
