Materials Data on PaZn3 by Materials Project
PaZn3 crystallizes in the hexagonal P6_3/mmc space group. The structure is three-dimensional. Pa is bonded to twelve equivalent Zn atoms to form a mixture of distorted face and corner-sharing PaZn12 cuboctahedra. There are six shorter (2.97 Å) and six longer (3.15 Å) Pa–Zn bond lengths. Zn is bonded in a 10-coordinate geometry to four equivalent Pa and six equivalent Zn atoms. There are four shorter (2.75 Å) and two longer (2.84 Å) Zn–Zn bond lengths.
