ZnIn3 crystallizes in the orthorhombic Cmcm space group. Zn(1) is bonded in a 8-coordinate geometry to four equivalent In(1) and four equivalent In(2) atoms. There are two inequivalent In sites. In the first In site, In(1) is bonded in a 9-coordinate geometry to two equivalent Zn(1), three equivalent In(2), and four equivalent In(1) atoms. In the second In site, In(2) is bonded in a 10-coordinate geometry to four equivalent Zn(1) and six equivalent In(1) atoms.
ZnIn3 crystallizes in the orthorhombic Cmcm space group. Zn(1) is bonded in a 8-coordinate geometry to four equivalent In(1) and four equivalent In(2) atoms. All Zn(1)-In(1) bond lengths are 3.18 Å. There are two shorter (3.12 Å) and two longer (3.14 Å) Zn(1)-In(2) bond lengths. There are two inequivalent In sites. In the first In site, In(1) is bonded in a 9-coordinate geometry to two equivalent Zn(1), three equivalent In(2), and four equivalent In(1) atoms. There are two shorter (3.27 Å) and one longer (3.34 Å) In(1)-In(2) bond length. There are a spread of In(1)-In(1) bond distances ranging from 3.11-3.24 Å. In the second In site, In(2) is bonded in a 10-coordinate geometry to four equivalent Zn(1) and six equivalent In(1) atoms.
