Materials Data on ZnMo3 by Materials Project
Mo3Zn is Uranium Silicide structured and crystallizes in the cubic Pm-3m space group. The structure is three-dimensional. Mo is bonded to eight equivalent Mo and four equivalent Zn atoms to form distorted MoZn4Mo8 cuboctahedra that share corners with twelve equivalent MoZn4Mo8 cuboctahedra, edges with eight equivalent ZnMo12 cuboctahedra, edges with sixteen equivalent MoZn4Mo8 cuboctahedra, faces with four equivalent ZnMo12 cuboctahedra, and faces with fourteen equivalent MoZn4Mo8 cuboctahedra. All Mo–Mo bond lengths are 2.79 Å. All Mo–Zn bond lengths are 2.79 Å. Zn is bonded to twelve equivalent Mo atoms to form ZnMo12 cuboctahedra that share corners with twelve equivalent ZnMo12 cuboctahedra, edges with twenty-four equivalent MoZn4Mo8 cuboctahedra, faces with six equivalent ZnMo12 cuboctahedra, and faces with twelve equivalent MoZn4Mo8 cuboctahedra.
