Abstract

Single crystals of Zn_3.77V_1.54Mo_1.46O₁₂ were grown in a ZnO/V₂O₅/MoO₃ melt. The colorless needles were determined to be orthorhombic, space group P2₁2₁2₁ (No. 19), a=5.048 (4) Å, b=10.400 (2) Å, c=17.560 (7) Å, V=921.9(6) Å³, 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 P2₁2₁2₁ (acentric).
