Na3Zn crystallizes in the hexagonal P6_3/mmc space group. Na(1) is bonded in a 12-coordinate geometry to eight equivalent Na(1) and four equivalent Zn(1) atoms. Zn(1) is bonded to twelve equivalent Na(1) atoms to form a mixture of face and corner-sharing ZnNa12 cuboctahedra.
Na3Zn crystallizes in the hexagonal P6_3/mmc space group. Na(1) is bonded in a 12-coordinate geometry to eight equivalent Na(1) and four equivalent Zn(1) atoms. There are a spread of Na(1)-Na(1) bond distances ranging from 3.39-3.66 Å. There are two shorter (3.35 Å) and two longer (3.52 Å) Na(1)-Zn(1) bond lengths. Zn(1) is bonded to twelve equivalent Na(1) atoms to form a mixture of face and corner-sharing ZnNa12 cuboctahedra.
