AgZn3 is beta Cu3Ti-like structured and crystallizes in the hexagonal P6_3/mmc space group. Ag(1) is bonded to twelve equivalent Zn(1) atoms to form AgZn12 cuboctahedra that share corners with six equivalent Ag(1)Zn12 cuboctahedra, corners with twelve equivalent Zn(1)Zn8Ag4 cuboctahedra, edges with eighteen equivalent Zn(1)Zn8Ag4 cuboctahedra, faces with eight equivalent Ag(1)Zn12 cuboctahedra, and faces with twelve equivalent Zn(1)Zn8Ag4 cuboctahedra. Zn(1) is bonded to four equivalent Ag(1) and eight equivalent Zn(1) atoms to form ZnZn8Ag4 cuboctahedra that share corners with four equivalent Ag(1)Zn12 cuboctahedra, corners with fourteen equivalent Zn(1)Zn8Ag4 cuboctahedra, edges with six equivalent Ag(1)Zn12 cuboctahedra, edges with twelve equivalent Zn(1)Zn8Ag4 cuboctahedra, faces with four equivalent Ag(1)Zn12 cuboctahedra, and faces with sixteen equivalent Zn(1)Zn8Ag4 cuboctahedra.

There are six shorter (2.74 Å) and six longer (2.79 Å) Ag(1)-Zn(1) bond lengths. Zn(1) is bonded to four equivalent Ag(1) and eight equivalent Zn(1) atoms to form ZnZn8Ag4 cuboctahedra that share corners with four equivalent Ag(1)Zn12 cuboctahedra, corners with fourteen equivalent Zn(1)Zn8Ag4 cuboctahedra, edges with six equivalent Ag(1)Zn12 cuboctahedra, edges with twelve equivalent Zn(1)Zn8Ag4 cuboctahedra, faces with four equivalent Ag(1)Zn12 cuboctahedra, and faces with sixteen equivalent Zn(1)Zn8Ag4 cuboctahedra. There are a spread of Zn(1)-Zn(1) bond distances ranging from 2.70-2.78 Å.
