V2ZnS4 is Spinel structured and crystallizes in the cubic Fd-3m space group. V(1) is bonded to six equivalent S(1) atoms to form VS6 octahedra that share corners with six equivalent Zn(1)S4 tetrahedra and edges with six equivalent V(1)S6 octahedra. Zn(1) is bonded to four equivalent S(1) atoms to form ZnS4 tetrahedra that share corners with twelve equivalent V(1)S6 octahedra. The corner-sharing octahedral tilt angles are 58°. S(1) is bonded to three equivalent V(1) and one Zn(1) atom to form a mixture of distorted corner and edge-sharing SV3Zn trigonal pyramids.
