BaZnOS crystallizes in the orthorhombic Cmcm space group. Ba(1) is bonded in a 8-coordinate geometry to four equivalent S(1) and four equivalent O(1) atoms. Zn(1) is bonded to two equivalent S(1) and two equivalent O(1) atoms to form corner-sharing ZnS2O2 tetrahedra. S(1) is bonded in a 6-coordinate geometry to four equivalent Ba(1) and two equivalent Zn(1) atoms. O(1) is bonded to four equivalent Ba(1) and two equivalent Zn(1) atoms to form a mixture of distorted edge, face, and corner-sharing OBa4Zn2 octahedra. The corner-sharing octahedral tilt angles are 58°.
BaZnOS crystallizes in the orthorhombic Cmcm space group. Ba(1) is bonded in a 8-coordinate geometry to four equivalent S(1) and four equivalent O(1) atoms. There are two shorter (3.27 Å) and two longer (3.29 Å) Ba(1)-S(1) bond lengths. All Ba(1)-O(1) bond lengths are 2.89 Å. Zn(1) is bonded to two equivalent S(1) and two equivalent O(1) atoms to form corner-sharing ZnS2O2 tetrahedra. Both Zn(1)-S(1) bond lengths are 2.35 Å. Both Zn(1)-O(1) bond lengths are 2.01 Å. S(1) is bonded in a 6-coordinate geometry to four equivalent Ba(1) and two equivalent Zn(1) atoms. O(1) is bonded to four equivalent Ba(1) and two equivalent Zn(1) atoms to form a mixture of distorted edge, face, and corner-sharing OBa4Zn2 octahedra.
