LiZn2 crystallizes in the cubic Fd-3m space group. Li(1) is bonded to six equivalent Zn(1) atoms to form distorted edge-sharing LiZn6 octahedra. Zn(1) is bonded in a 3-coordinate geometry to three equivalent Li(1) atoms.
LiZn2 crystallizes in the cubic Fd-3m space group. Li(1) is bonded to six equivalent Zn(1) atoms to form distorted edge-sharing LiZn6 octahedra. All Li(1)-Zn(1) bond lengths are 2.65 Å. Zn(1) is bonded in a 3-coordinate geometry to three equivalent Li(1) atoms.
