The compound described by MgZn crystallizes in the orthorhombic Pmmn space group. Mg(1) is bonded to six equivalent Mg(1) and six equivalent Zn(1) atoms to form distorted MgMg6Zn6 cuboctahedra that share corners with ten equivalent Mg(1)Mg6Zn6 cuboctahedra, corners with fourteen equivalent Zn(1)Mg6 cuboctahedra, edges with eight equivalent Zn(1)Mg6 cuboctahedra, edges with ten equivalent Mg(1)Mg6Zn6 cuboctahedra, faces with two equivalent Zn(1)Mg6 cuboctahedra, and faces with eight equivalent Mg(1)Mg6Zn6 cuboctahedra. Zn(1) is bonded to six equivalent Mg(1) atoms to form distorted ZnMg6 cuboctahedra that share corners with six equivalent Zn(1)Mg6 cuboctahedra, corners with fourteen equivalent Mg(1)Mg6Zn6 cuboctahedra, edges with eight equivalent Mg(1)Mg6Zn6 cuboctahedra, edges with twelve equivalent Zn(1)Mg6 cuboctahedra, and faces with two equivalent Mg(1)Mg6Zn6 cuboctahedra. is represented by the CIF file [CIF]
