MgTaZn is half-Heusler structured and crystallizes in the cubic F-43m space group. Mg(1) is bonded to six equivalent Ta(1) and four equivalent Zn(1) atoms to form a mixture of distorted corner and face-sharing MgTa6Zn4 tetrahedra. Ta(1) is bonded in a 10-coordinate geometry to six equivalent Mg(1) and four equivalent Zn(1) atoms. Zn(1) is bonded in a body-centered cubic geometry to four equivalent Mg(1) and four equivalent Ta(1) atoms.
