The compound described by Zr2ZnAl3 is Hexagonal Laves-derived structured and crystallizes in the trigonal R-3m space group. Zr(1) is bonded in a 16-coordinate geometry to four equivalent Zr(1), three equivalent Zn(1), and nine equivalent Al(1) atoms. Zn(1) is bonded to six equivalent Zr(1) and six equivalent Al(1) atoms to form ZnZr6Al6 cuboctahedra that share corners with six equivalent Zn(1)Zr6Al6 cuboctahedra, corners with twelve equivalent Al(1)Zr6Al4Zn2 cuboctahedra, edges with six equivalent Zn(1)Zr6Al6 cuboctahedra, and faces with eighteen equivalent Al(1)Zr6Al4Zn2 cuboctahedra. Al(1) is bonded to six equivalent Zr(1), two equivalent Zn(1), and four equivalent Al(1) atoms to form AlZr6Al4Zn2 cuboctahedra that share corners with four equivalent Zn(1)Zr6Al6 cuboctahedra, corners with fourteen equivalent Al(1)Zr6Al4Zn2 cuboctahedra, edges with six equivalent Al(1)Zr6Al4Zn2 cuboctahedra, faces with six equivalent Zn(1)Zr6Al6 cuboctahedra, and faces with twelve equivalent Al(1)Zr6Al4Zn2 cuboctahedra. is represented by the Crystallographic Information File (CIF) [CIF]
