Nb3AuZn crystallizes in the cubic P2_13 space group. Nb(1) is bonded in a 12-coordinate geometry to six equivalent Nb(1), three equivalent Au(1), and three equivalent Zn(1) atoms. Au(1) is bonded to nine equivalent Nb(1) and three equivalent Zn(1) atoms to form a mixture of distorted face and corner-sharing AuNb9Zn3 cuboctahedra. Zn(1) is bonded in a 3-coordinate geometry to nine equivalent Nb(1) and three equivalent Au(1) atoms.
Nb3AuZn crystallizes in the cubic P2_13 space group. Nb(1) is bonded in a 12-coordinate geometry to six equivalent Nb(1), three equivalent Au(1), and three equivalent Zn(1) atoms. There are four shorter (2.94 Å) and two longer (2.98 Å) Nb(1)-Nb(1) bond lengths. There are a spread of Nb(1)-Au(1) bond distances ranging from 2.89-2.96 Å. There are a spread of Nb(1)-Zn(1) bond distances ranging from 2.81-3.01 Å. Au(1) is bonded to nine equivalent Nb(1) and three equivalent Zn(1) atoms to form a mixture of distorted face and corner-sharing AuNb9Zn3 cuboctahedra. All Au(1)-Zn(1) bond lengths are 2.63 Å. Zn(1) is bonded in a 3-coordinate geometry to nine equivalent Nb(1) and three equivalent Au(1) atoms.
