The new terbium (lithium zinc) distannide, TbLi(1-x)Zn(x)Sn(2) (x = 0.2) crystallizes in the ortho-rhom-bic CeNiSi(2) structure type with space group Cmcm and Pearson symbol oS16. Of the four independent 4c atom positions (m2m site symmetry), three are fully occupied by individual atoms (two by Sn and one by Tb atoms) and the fourth is occupied by Li and Zn atoms with a statistical distribution. The Tb coordination polyhedron is a 21-vertex pseudo-Frank-Kasper polyhedron. One Sn atom is enclosed ...[more]
