Gd3Zn is Uranium Silicide structured and crystallizes in the cubic Pm-3m space group. Gd(1) is bonded to eight equivalent Gd(1) and four equivalent Zn(1) atoms to form distorted GdGd8Zn4 cuboctahedra that share corners with twelve equivalent Gd(1)Gd8Zn4 cuboctahedra, edges with eight equivalent Zn(1)Gd12 cuboctahedra, edges with sixteen equivalent Gd(1)Gd8Zn4 cuboctahedra, faces with four equivalent Zn(1)Gd12 cuboctahedra, and faces with fourteen equivalent Gd(1)Gd8Zn4 cuboctahedra. Zn(1) is bonded to twelve equivalent Gd(1) atoms to form ZnGd12 cuboctahedra that share corners with twelve equivalent Zn(1)Gd12 cuboctahedra, edges with twenty-four equivalent Gd(1)Gd8Zn4 cuboctahedra, faces with six equivalent Zn(1)Gd12 cuboctahedra, and faces with twelve equivalent Gd(1)Gd8Zn4 cuboctahedra.
