Materials Data on ThZn2 by Materials Project
ThZn2 crystallizes in the hexagonal P6/mmm space group. The structure is three-dimensional. Th is bonded to twelve equivalent Zn atoms to form a mixture of edge and face-sharing ThZn12 cuboctahedra. All Th–Zn bond lengths are 3.19 Å. Zn is bonded in a 9-coordinate geometry to six equivalent Th and three equivalent Zn atoms. All Zn–Zn bond lengths are 2.64 Å.
