Li2ZnSi crystallizes in the hexagonal P6_3/mmc space group. Li(1) is bonded in a 8-coordinate geometry to one Li(1), four equivalent Zn(1), and three equivalent Si(1) atoms. Zn(1) is bonded in a 8-coordinate geometry to eight equivalent Li(1) atoms. Si(1) is bonded in a distorted hexagonal planar geometry to six equivalent Li(1) atoms.
Li2ZnSi crystallizes in the hexagonal P6_3/mmc space group. Li(1) is bonded in a 8-coordinate geometry to one Li(1), four equivalent Zn(1), and three equivalent Si(1) atoms. The Li(1)-Li(1) bond length is 2.45 Å. There is one shorter (2.48 Å) and three longer (2.77 Å) Li(1)-Zn(1) bond lengths. All Li(1)-Si(1) bond lengths are 2.56 Å. Zn(1) is bonded in a 8-coordinate geometry to eight equivalent Li(1) atoms. Si(1) is bonded in a distorted hexagonal planar geometry to six equivalent Li(1) atoms.
