Materials Data on V3S by Materials Project
V3S crystallizes in the tetragonal P4_2/nbc space group. The structure is three-dimensional. there are three inequivalent V sites. In the first V site, V is bonded in a distorted bent 150 degrees geometry to two equivalent S atoms. Both V–S bond lengths are 2.36 Å. In the second V site, V is bonded in a distorted bent 150 degrees geometry to two equivalent S atoms. Both V–S bond lengths are 2.36 Å. In the third V site, V is bonded to four equivalent S atoms to form a mixture of distorted edge and corner-sharing VS4 tetrahedra. All V–S bond lengths are 2.39 Å. S is bonded in a 8-coordinate geometry to eight V atoms.
