22. Such short Mg-Zn bonds exist in the orthorhombic Mg 51 Zn 20 compound (in our VASP calculation, not described here, we used the nearly isostructural but ordered Ag 7 Mg 51 -type structure). Indeed, a simple explanation why the Mg-Zn bonds do not get shorter in the 16 coordinated stoichiometric environment might be that the constraints between the 16 atoms (12 of them Zn) forming the shell prevent them from getting closer to the central Mg atom.
