Materials Data on Al2ZnS4 by Materials Project

ZnAl2S4 is Spinel structured and crystallizes in the cubic Fd-3m space group. The structure is three-dimensional. Zn2+ is bonded to four equivalent S2- atoms to form ZnS4 tetrahedra that share corners with twelve equivalent AlS6 octahedra. The corner-sharing octahedral tilt angles are 58°. All Zn–S bond lengths are 2.35 Å. Al3+ is bonded to six equivalent S2- atoms to form AlS6 octahedra that share corners with six equivalent ZnS4 tetrahedra and edges with six equivalent AlS6 octahedra. All Al–S bond lengths are 2.43 Å. S2- is bonded to one Zn2+ and three equivalent Al3+ atoms to form a mixture of distorted corner and edge-sharing SAl3Zn trigonal pyramids.

ZnAl2S4 crystallizes in the trigonal R3m space group. The structure is two-dimensional and consists of six ZnAl2S4 sheets oriented in the (0, 0, 1) direction. Zn2+ is bonded to four S2- atoms to form ZnS4 tetrahedra that share corners with three equivalent AlS6 octahedra and corners with six equivalent ZnS4 tetrahedra. The corner-sharing octahedral tilt angles are 62°. There are three shorter (2.25 Å) and one longer (2.60 Å) Zn–S bond lengths. There are two inequivalent Al3+ sites. In the first Al3+ site, Al3+ is bonded to six S2- atoms to form AlS6 octahedra that share corners with three equivalent ZnS4 tetrahedra, corners with three equivalent AlS4 tetrahedra, and edges with six equivalent AlS6 octahedra. There are three shorter (2.41 Å) and three longer (2.55 Å) Al–S bond lengths. In the second Al3+ site, Al3+ is bonded to four S2- atoms to form AlS4 tetrahedra that share corners with three equivalent AlS6 octahedra and corners with six equivalent AlS4 tetrahedra. The corner-sharing octahedral tilt angles are 57°. There are one shorter (2.25 Å) and three longer (2.30 Å) Al–S bond lengths. There are four inequivalent S2- sites. In the first S2- site, S2- is bonded in a trigonal non-coplanar geometry to three equivalent Zn2+ atoms. In the second S2- site, S2- is bonded to one Zn2+ and three equivalent Al3+ atoms to form corner-sharing SAl3Zn tetrahedra. In the third S2- site, S2- is bonded in a distorted rectangular see-saw-like geometry to four Al3+ atoms. In the fourth S2- site, S2- is bonded in a trigonal non-coplanar geometry to three equivalent Al3+ atoms.
