Abstract: The compound Li17−ɛZnɛGe4 has been obtained as a side product during the preparation of the intermetallic compound Li8Zn2Ge3 from the elements. Its structure has been determined from single crystal X-ray diffraction intensities measured at 173K. It crystallizes in the cubic system, space group, a =18.842(1)Å, Z =20. Its crystal structure is slightly different from those so far reported in the literature for the Zn-free phase Li17Ge4, particularly concerned are the positions and the site occupations of Li atoms. Most likely, these structural variations result from the presence of a small Zn concentration in the compound. The Zn doping atom has been found only at the specific Li 4d site (about 3at.% Zn).
