Abstract
Herein, we discuss the identification of vanadium trimers in layered and its sulfide analog of with two-dimensional triangular lattices. Our comprehensive structural studies using synchrotron x-ray-diffraction experiments clarified that vanadium trimers are randomly aligned along the -axis direction in , while the long-range ordering of vanadium trimers along the -axis direction appears in . Our results solve the long-standing issue of cluster patterns in and provide an experimental basis for identifying the mechanism of trimer formation.
