The crystal structure of LiZnAs has been verified with single crystal
X-ray methods. LiZnAs crystallizes in a filled-up zinc blende type of
structure (F43mBAR, a = 593.9(1) pm, As at site 4 a (000); Zn at site
4d (3/4 3/4 3/4); Li at site 4c (1/4 1/4 1/4); 25 hkl; R = 0.018). As
is coordinated by 4 Li and 4 Zn atoms with identical distances of 257.
2(1) pm. Li and Zn atoms are tetrahedrally coordinated by As. No indic
ations for a disorder between Li and Zn have been found.
