La2Ni2Zn crystallizes in the orthorhombic Immm space group. La(1) is bonded in a 10-coordinate geometry to six equivalent Ni(1) and four equivalent Zn(1) atoms. Ni(1) is bonded in a 10-coordinate geometry to six equivalent La(1), two equivalent Ni(1), and two equivalent Zn(1) atoms. Zn(1) is bonded to eight equivalent La(1) and four equivalent Ni(1) atoms to form a mixture of distorted edge and face-sharing ZnLa8Ni4 cuboctahedra.
La2Ni2Zn crystallizes in the orthorhombic Immm space group. La(1) is bonded in a 10-coordinate geometry to six equivalent Ni(1) and four equivalent Zn(1) atoms. There are two shorter (2.92 Å) and four longer (3.08 Å) La(1)-Ni(1) bond lengths. There are two shorter (3.24 Å) and two longer (3.37 Å) La(1)-Zn(1) bond lengths. Ni(1) is bonded in a 10-coordinate geometry to six equivalent La(1), two equivalent Ni(1), and two equivalent Zn(1) atoms. There is one shorter (2.68 Å) and one longer (2.85 Å) Ni(1)-Ni(1) bond length. Both Ni(1)-Zn(1) bond lengths are 2.62 Å. Zn(1) is bonded to eight equivalent La(1) and four equivalent Ni(1) atoms to form a mixture of distorted edge and face-sharing ZnLa8Ni4 cuboctahedra.
