The material described by Zn3(Ni10B3)2 crystallizes in the cubic Fm-3m space group. There are two inequivalent Ni sites. In the first Ni site, Ni(1) is bonded in a 2-coordinate geometry to one Zn(2) and two equivalent B(1) atoms. In the second Ni site, Ni(2) is bonded to one Zn(1) and three equivalent B(1) atoms to form a mixture of distorted corner and edge-sharing NiZnB3 tetrahedra. There are two inequivalent Zn sites. In the first Zn site, Zn(1) is bonded in a distorted tetrahedral geometry to four equivalent Ni(2) atoms. In the second Zn site, Zn(2) is bonded in a cuboctahedral geometry to twelve equivalent Ni(1) atoms. B(1) is bonded in a 8-coordinate geometry to four equivalent Ni(1) and four equivalent Ni(2) atoms. is represented by the CIF file [CIF]
