There is a great amount of interest in tertiary chalcopyrite semiconductors because of the potential uses they have in the field of optoelectronics. These applications include solar energy converters, detectors, light emitting diodes (LED), and non-linear optical devices (NLO). There are variety of ZnS Zinc blende types of superstructures in which one of the types is called chalcopyrite semiconductor. This study is based on the characteristics of the chalcopyrite semiconductor.  So, we demonstrate an expression that relates the cohesive energy i.e. Ecoh in kcal / mol for this chalcopyrite semiconductors with the multiplication of ionic charges as well as nearest neighbor distance i.e. d (Å). We plot a log-log scale with respect to the nearest neighbour distance d (Å ) and the cohesive energy of variety of these material compounds and we get a linear connection. However, when the ionic charge product of the compounds is taken into consideration, the cohesive energy of these compounds falls on separate straight lines. A decent arrangement has been established between the experimental against the calculated values of the given cohesive energy for A B C2  as well as A B C2  chalcopyrite semiconductors.
