Materials Data on ZnPS3 by Materials Project

ZnPS3 crystallizes in the monoclinic C2/m space group. The structure is two-dimensional and consists of one ZnPS3 sheet oriented in the (0, 0, 1) direction. Zn2+ is bonded to six S2- atoms to form edge-sharing ZnS6 octahedra. There are four shorter (2.58 Å) and two longer (2.59 Å) Zn–S bond lengths. P4+ is bonded in a trigonal non-coplanar geometry to three S2- atoms. All P–S bond lengths are 2.04 Å. There are two inequivalent S2- sites. In the first S2- site, S2- is bonded in a distorted trigonal non-coplanar geometry to two equivalent Zn2+ and one P4+ atom. In the second S2- site, S2- is bonded in a distorted trigonal non-coplanar geometry to two equivalent Zn2+ and one P4+ atom.
