Materials Data on NaVS2 by Materials Project

Abstract

NaVS2 is Caswellsilverite-like structured and crystallizes in the monoclinic C2/m space group. The structure is three-dimensional. Na1+ is bonded to six equivalent S2- atoms to form distorted NaS6 octahedra that share corners with twelve equivalent VS6 octahedra, edges with six equivalent NaS6 octahedra, and faces with two equivalent VS6 octahedra. The corner-sharing octahedra tilt angles range from 46–48°. There are four shorter (2.86 Å) and two longer (2.88 Å) Na–S bond lengths. V3+ is bonded to six equivalent S2- atoms to form VS6 octahedra that share corners with twelve equivalent NaS6 octahedra, edges with six equivalent VS6 octahedra, and faces with two equivalent NaS6 octahedra. The corner-sharing octahedra tilt angles range from 46–48°. There are four shorter (2.45 Å) and two longer (2.48 Å) V–S bond lengths. S2- is bonded in a 6-coordinate geometry to three equivalent Na1+ and three equivalent V3+ atoms.
