Y2RhZn crystallizes in the orthorhombic Immm space group. The structure is one-dimensional and consists of two Y2RhZn ribbons oriented in the (1, 0, 0) direction. Y is bonded in a linear geometry to one Rh and one Zn atom. The Y–Rh bond length is 2.39 Å. The Y–Zn bond length is 3.06 Å. Rh is bonded in a linear geometry to two equivalent Y atoms. Zn is bonded in a linear geometry to two equivalent Y atoms.
Y2RhZn is Heusler structured and crystallizes in the cubic Fm-3m space group. The structure is three-dimensional. Y is bonded in a body-centered cubic geometry to four equivalent Rh and four equivalent Zn atoms. All Y–Rh bond lengths are 3.03 Å. All Y–Zn bond lengths are 3.03 Å. Rh is bonded in a body-centered cubic geometry to eight equivalent Y atoms. Zn is bonded in a body-centered cubic geometry to eight equivalent Y atoms.
