Materials Data on V5Ge3 by Materials Project

Abstract

V5Ge3 crystallizes in the tetragonal I4/mcm space group. The structure is three-dimensional. there are two inequivalent V sites. In the first V site, V is bonded in a 6-coordinate geometry to six Ge atoms. There are a spread of V–Ge bond distances ranging from 2.52–2.77 Å. In the second V site, V is bonded in a 6-coordinate geometry to two equivalent V and four equivalent Ge atoms. Both V–V bond lengths are 2.43 Å. All V–Ge bond lengths are 2.56 Å. There are two inequivalent Ge sites. In the first Ge site, Ge is bonded in a 10-coordinate geometry to ten V atoms. In the second Ge site, Ge is bonded in a 10-coordinate geometry to eight equivalent V and two equivalent Ge atoms. Both Ge–Ge bond lengths are 2.43 Å.
