The material structure described by ZnMgY crystallizes in the hexagonal P-62m space group. Mg(1) is bonded in a 4-coordinate geometry to two equivalent Zn(1) and two equivalent Zn(2) atoms. Y(1) is bonded in a 5-coordinate geometry to one Zn(2) and four equivalent Zn(1) atoms. There are two inequivalent Zn sites. In the first Zn site, Zn(1) is bonded in a 9-coordinate geometry to three equivalent Mg(1) and six equivalent Y(1) atoms. In the second Zn site, Zn(2) is bonded in a 9-coordinate geometry to six equivalent Mg(1) and three equivalent Y(1) atoms. is represented by the Crystallographic Information File (CIF) [CIF]
