The crystal structure described by Zr3ZnN crystallizes in the orthorhombic Cmcm space group. There are two inequivalent Zr sites. In the first Zr site, Zr(1) is bonded in a distorted L-shaped geometry to three equivalent Zn(1) and two equivalent N(1) atoms. In the second Zr site, Zr(2) is bonded in a distorted bent 150 degrees geometry to two equivalent Zn(1) and two equivalent N(1) atoms. Zn(1) is bonded in a 8-coordinate geometry to two equivalent Zr(2) and six equivalent Zr(1) atoms. N(1) is bonded to two equivalent Zr(2) and four equivalent Zr(1) atoms to form a mixture of corner and edge-sharing NZr6 octahedra. The corner-sharing octahedral tilt angles are 29°. is represented by the CIF file [CIF]
