Materials Data on VSn2 by Materials Project
VSn2 is Khatyrkite-like structured and crystallizes in the orthorhombic Fddd space group. The structure is three-dimensional. V is bonded in a 10-coordinate geometry to two equivalent V and eight Sn atoms. Both V–V bond lengths are 2.75 Å. There are a spread of V–Sn bond distances ranging from 2.80–2.88 Å. There are two inequivalent Sn sites. In the first Sn site, Sn is bonded in a 4-coordinate geometry to four equivalent V atoms. In the second Sn site, Sn is bonded in a 4-coordinate geometry to four equivalent V atoms.
