CaZn3 is alpha bismuth trifluoride structured and crystallizes in the cubic Fm-3m space group. Ca(1) is bonded in a distorted body-centered cubic geometry to six equivalent Zn(1) and eight equivalent Zn(2) atoms. There are two inequivalent Zn sites. In the first Zn site, Zn(1) is bonded in a 14-coordinate geometry to six equivalent Ca(1) and eight equivalent Zn(2) atoms. In the second Zn site, Zn(2) is bonded in a distorted body-centered cubic geometry to four equivalent Ca(1) and four equivalent Zn(1) atoms.
