SmZn2 crystallizes in the orthorhombic Imma space group. Sm(1) is bonded in a 12-coordinate geometry to twelve equivalent Zn(1) atoms. Zn(1) is bonded in a 10-coordinate geometry to six equivalent Sm(1) and four equivalent Zn(1) atoms.
SmZn2 crystallizes in the orthorhombic Imma space group. Sm(1) is bonded in a 12-coordinate geometry to twelve equivalent Zn(1) atoms. There are a spread of Sm(1)-Zn(1) bond distances ranging from 3.07-3.31 Å. Zn(1) is bonded in a 10-coordinate geometry to six equivalent Sm(1) and four equivalent Zn(1) atoms. There are three shorter (2.59 Å) and one longer (2.86 Å) Zn(1)-Zn(1) bond length.
