Materials Data on ZrGeS by Materials Project
ZrGeS is Matlockite structured and crystallizes in the tetragonal P4/nmm space group. The structure is three-dimensional. Zr is bonded in a 9-coordinate geometry to four equivalent Ge and five equivalent S atoms. All Zr–Ge bond lengths are 2.88 Å. There are four shorter (2.72 Å) and one longer (2.81 Å) Zr–S bond lengths. Ge is bonded in a 8-coordinate geometry to four equivalent Zr and four equivalent Ge atoms. All Ge–Ge bond lengths are 2.59 Å. S is bonded to five equivalent Zr atoms to form a mixture of distorted corner and edge-sharing SZr5 trigonal bipyramids.
