The material described by Ag3Zn is beta Cu3Ti-like structured and crystallizes in the hexagonal P6_3/mmc space group. Ag(1) is bonded to eight equivalent Ag(1) and four equivalent Zn(1) atoms to form AgZn4Ag8 cuboctahedra that share corners with four equivalent Zn(1)Ag12 cuboctahedra, corners with fourteen equivalent Ag(1)Zn4Ag8 cuboctahedra, edges with six equivalent Zn(1)Ag12 cuboctahedra, edges with twelve equivalent Ag(1)Zn4Ag8 cuboctahedra, faces with four equivalent Zn(1)Ag12 cuboctahedra, and faces with sixteen equivalent Ag(1)Zn4Ag8 cuboctahedra. Zn(1) is bonded to twelve equivalent Ag(1) atoms to form ZnAg12 cuboctahedra that share corners with six equivalent Zn(1)Ag12 cuboctahedra, corners with twelve equivalent Ag(1)Zn4Ag8 cuboctahedra, edges with eighteen equivalent Ag(1)Zn4Ag8 cuboctahedra, faces with eight equivalent Zn(1)Ag12 cuboctahedra, and faces with twelve equivalent Ag(1)Zn4Ag8 cuboctahedra. is represented by the Crystallographic Information File (CIF) [CIF]
