Materials Data on V2ZnS4 by Materials Project

V2ZnS4 is Spinel structured and crystallizes in the tetragonal I4_1/amd space group. The structure is three-dimensional. V3+ is bonded to six equivalent S2- atoms to form VS6 octahedra that share corners with six equivalent ZnS4 tetrahedra and edges with six equivalent VS6 octahedra. There are four shorter (2.43 Å) and two longer (2.44 Å) V–S bond lengths. Zn2+ is bonded to four equivalent S2- atoms to form ZnS4 tetrahedra that share corners with twelve equivalent VS6 octahedra. The corner-sharing octahedra tilt angles range from 55–59°. All Zn–S bond lengths are 2.33 Å. S2- is bonded in a rectangular see-saw-like geometry to three equivalent V3+ and one Zn2+ atom.
