Materials Data on ZnSnP2 by Materials Project
ZnSnP2 is Chalcopyrite structured and crystallizes in the tetragonal I-42d space group. The structure is three-dimensional. Zn2+ is bonded to four equivalent P3- atoms to form ZnP4 tetrahedra that share corners with four equivalent ZnP4 tetrahedra and corners with eight equivalent SnP4 tetrahedra. All Zn–P bond lengths are 2.40 Å. Sn4+ is bonded to four equivalent P3- atoms to form SnP4 tetrahedra that share corners with four equivalent SnP4 tetrahedra and corners with eight equivalent ZnP4 tetrahedra. All Sn–P bond lengths are 2.55 Å. P3- is bonded to two equivalent Zn2+ and two equivalent Sn4+ atoms to form corner-sharing PZn2Sn2 tetrahedra.
