title: Ni2Sn2Zn from single-crystal X-ray diffraction.
abstract: Dinickel ditin zinc, Ni(2)Sn(2)Zn, crystallizes in the cubic space group Pm3m, with a lattice parameter of a = 8.845 (1) Å and with all atoms occupying special positions. The crystal structure exhibits pronounced similarities with that of the quaternary compound Ni(5.20)Sn(8.7)Zn(4.16)Cu(1.04). It shares structural features with other compounds in the Ni-Sn-Zn system, such as Ni(5)Sn(4)Zn and Ni(3)Sn(2).
