YZn3 crystallizes in the orthorhombic Pnma space group. Y(1) is bonded in a 14-coordinate geometry to four equivalent Zn(2), five equivalent Zn(1), and five equivalent Zn(3) atoms. There are three inequivalent Zn sites. In the first Zn site, Zn(2) is bonded in a 10-coordinate geometry to four equivalent Y(1), three equivalent Zn(1), and three equivalent Zn(3) atoms. In the second Zn site, Zn(1) is bonded in a 8-coordinate geometry to five equivalent Y(1), two equivalent Zn(3), and three equivalent Zn(2) atoms. In the third Zn site, Zn(3) is bonded in a 10-coordinate geometry to five equivalent Y(1), two equivalent Zn(1), and three equivalent Zn(2) atoms.
YZn3 crystallizes in the orthorhombic Pnma space group. Y(1) is bonded in a 14-coordinate geometry to four equivalent Zn(2), five equivalent Zn(1), and five equivalent Zn(3) atoms. There are a spread of Y(1)-Zn(2) bond distances ranging from 2.98-3.19 Å. There are a spread of Y(1)-Zn(1) bond distances ranging from 3.05-3.41 Å. There are a spread of Y(1)-Zn(3) bond distances ranging from 2.97-3.21 Å. There are three inequivalent Zn sites. In the first Zn site, Zn(2) is bonded in a 10-coordinate geometry to four equivalent Y(1), three equivalent Zn(1), and three equivalent Zn(3) atoms. There is one shorter (2.58 Å) and two longer (2.74 Å) Zn(2)-Zn(1) bond lengths. There are two shorter (2.58 Å) and one longer (2.79 Å) Zn(2)-Zn(3) bond length. In the second Zn site, Zn(1) is bonded in a 8-coordinate geometry to five equivalent Y(1), two equivalent Zn(3), and three equivalent Zn(2) atoms. There is one shorter (2.54 Å) and one longer (2.60 Å) Zn(1)-Zn(3) bond length. In the third Zn site, Zn(3) is bonded in a 10-coordinate geometry to five equivalent Y(1), two equivalent Zn(1), and three equivalent Zn(2) atoms.
