Consider an ionic MX with ZnS blende type structure. Construct a new structure (Z) whose unit cell is constructed from the unit cell of MX following the sequential instructions given below. Neglect the charge balance.

(i) Remove all the anions (X) from one of the body diagonal.

(ii) Replace all the face centered cations (M) by anions (X)

(iii) Remove all the corner cations (M)

(iv) Replace all anions (X) from all body diagonals with (M).
