Li2(VS2)3 crystallizes in the hexagonal P6_3/mcm space group. Li(1) is bonded in a linear geometry to two equivalent S(1) atoms. V(1) is bonded to two equivalent S(2) and four equivalent S(1) atoms to form distorted edge-sharing VS6 pentagonal pyramids. There are two inequivalent S sites. In the first S site, S(1) is bonded in a rectangular see-saw-like geometry to one Li(1) and three equivalent V(1) atoms. In the second S site, S(2) is bonded in a distorted T-shaped geometry to three equivalent V(1) atoms.
Li2(VS2)3 crystallizes in the hexagonal P6_3/mcm space group. Li(1) is bonded in a linear geometry to two equivalent S(1) atoms. Both Li(1)-S(1) bond lengths are 2.29 Å. V(1) is bonded to two equivalent S(2) and four equivalent S(1) atoms to form distorted edge-sharing VS6 pentagonal pyramids. Both V(1)-S(2) bond lengths are 2.35 Å. All V(1)-S(1) bond lengths are 2.37 Å. There are two inequivalent S sites. In the first S site, S(1) is bonded in a rectangular see-saw-like geometry to one Li(1) and three equivalent V(1) atoms. In the second S site, S(2) is bonded in a distorted T-shaped geometry to three equivalent V(1) atoms.
