The material structure described by Mg3Zn1 is Uranium Silicide structured and crystallizes in the cubic Pm-3m space group. Mg(1) is bonded to eight equivalent Mg(1) and four equivalent Zn(1) atoms to form MgMg8Zn4 cuboctahedra that share corners with twelve equivalent Mg(1)Mg8Zn4 cuboctahedra, edges with eight equivalent Zn(1)Mg12 cuboctahedra, edges with sixteen equivalent Mg(1)Mg8Zn4 cuboctahedra, faces with four equivalent Zn(1)Mg12 cuboctahedra, and faces with fourteen equivalent Mg(1)Mg8Zn4 cuboctahedra. Zn(1) is bonded to twelve equivalent Mg(1) atoms to form ZnMg12 cuboctahedra that share corners with twelve equivalent Zn(1)Mg12 cuboctahedra, edges with twenty-four equivalent Mg(1)Mg8Zn4 cuboctahedra, faces with six equivalent Zn(1)Mg12 cuboctahedra, and faces with twelve equivalent Mg(1)Mg8Zn4 cuboctahedra. is represented by the CIF file [CIF]
