The crystal structure described by GdZnAl is hexagonal omega structure-derived structured and crystallizes in the hexagonal P6_3/mmc space group. Gd(1) is bonded to six equivalent Zn(1) and six equivalent Al(1) atoms to form a mixture of edge and face-sharing GdAl6Zn6 cuboctahedra. Zn(1) is bonded in a 9-coordinate geometry to six equivalent Gd(1) and three equivalent Al(1) atoms. Al(1) is bonded in a 9-coordinate geometry to six equivalent Gd(1) and three equivalent Zn(1) atoms. is represented by the CIF file [CIF]
