Abstract
The electronic structure and lattice parameters of several quasi-one-dimensional compounds–known VS4, NbCl4, and NbS3 and hypothetical NbS4 and VS3–are obtained using density functional theory. Comparative analysis of chemical bonding and charge distribution in all these compounds reveals the possible origin of the structural instability of NbS4 and VS3.
