Materials Data on V4Zn5 by Materials Project
V4Zn5 is beta-prime cadmium gold-like structured and crystallizes in the tetragonal I4/mmm space group. The structure is three-dimensional. V is bonded in a 8-coordinate geometry to four equivalent V and four equivalent Zn atoms. All V–V bond lengths are 2.53 Å. All V–Zn bond lengths are 2.69 Å. There are two inequivalent Zn sites. In the first Zn site, Zn is bonded in a distorted body-centered cubic geometry to eight equivalent Zn atoms. All Zn–Zn bond lengths are 2.67 Å. In the second Zn site, Zn is bonded in a 8-coordinate geometry to four equivalent V and four Zn atoms. Both Zn–Zn bond lengths are 2.56 Å.
