The compound described by Zr5ZnSn3 crystallizes in the hexagonal P6_3/mcm space group. There are two inequivalent Zr sites. In the first Zr site, Zr(1) is bonded in a 8-coordinate geometry to two equivalent Zr(1) and six equivalent Sn(1) atoms. In the second Zr site, Zr(2) is bonded to two equivalent Zn(1) and five equivalent Sn(1) atoms to form a mixture of distorted edge, corner, and face-sharing ZrZn2Sn5 pentagonal bipyramids. Zn(1) is bonded to six equivalent Zr(2) atoms to form distorted face-sharing ZnZr6 octahedra. Sn(1) is bonded in a 9-coordinate geometry to four equivalent Zr(1) and five equivalent Zr(2) atoms. is represented by the CIF card [CIF]
