Abstract

Single crystals of Zn 3.77V 1.54Mo 1.46O 12 were grown in a ZnO/V 2O 5/MoO 3 melt. The colorless needles were determined to be orthorhombic, space group P2 12 12 1 (No. 19), a=5.048 (4) A ̊ , b=10.400 (2) A ̊ , c=17.560 (7) A ̊ , V=921.9(6) A ̊ 3 , and Z=4. One type of zinc cation in the structure exhibits trigonal prismatic coordination, and relatively large distortions of the ZnO bond lengths in the trigonal prisms reduce the symmetry from Pnma (centrosymmetric) to P2 12 12 1 (acentric).
