The crystal structure described by LaNi2Zn3 crystallizes in the hexagonal P6/mmm space group. La(1) is bonded in a 18-coordinate geometry to six equivalent Ni(1) and twelve equivalent Zn(1) atoms. Ni(1) is bonded in a 9-coordinate geometry to three equivalent La(1) and six equivalent Zn(1) atoms. Zn(1) is bonded to four equivalent La(1) and four equivalent Ni(1) atoms to form a mixture of distorted corner, edge, and face-sharing ZnLa4Ni4 cuboctahedra. is represented by the Crystallographic Information File (CIF) [CIF]
