ZnS (zinc blende): in FCC, in alternate tetrahedral voids (half of 8 = 4). Z = 4, CN 4:4. Face diagonal contains the relationship: a*sqrt = r+ + r-. Examples: ZnS, CuCl, SiC. CaF2 (fluorite): FCC, F- in ALL tetrahedral voids (8). Z = 4 CaF2, CN = 8, F- = 4. Antifluorite (Na2O): FCC, Na+ in all tetrahedral voids.
