Materials Data on ZrVSi by Materials Project
SiVZr is Matlockite structured and crystallizes in the tetragonal P4/nmm space group. The structure is three-dimensional. Zr2+ is bonded to five equivalent Si4- atoms to form a mixture of distorted edge and corner-sharing ZrSi5 trigonal bipyramids. There are four shorter (2.74 Å) and one longer (2.87 Å) Zr–Si bond lengths. V2+ is bonded in a 4-coordinate geometry to four equivalent Si4- atoms. All V–Si bond lengths are 2.56 Å. Si4- is bonded in a 9-coordinate geometry to five equivalent Zr2+ and four equivalent V2+ atoms.
