Co3Zn is alpha bismuth trifluoride structured and crystallizes in the cubic Fm-3m space group. There are two inequivalent Co sites. In the first Co site, Co(1) is bonded in a distorted body-centered cubic geometry to four equivalent Co(2) and four equivalent Zn(1) atoms. In the second Co site, Co(2) is bonded in a 14-coordinate geometry to eight equivalent Co(1) and six equivalent Zn(1) atoms. Zn(1) is bonded in a distorted body-centered cubic geometry to six equivalent Co(2) and eight equivalent Co(1) atoms.
