Materials Data on V3Os by Materials Project
V3Os is alpha bismuth trifluoride structured and crystallizes in the cubic Fm-3m space group. The structure is three-dimensional. there are two inequivalent V sites. In the first V site, V is bonded to four equivalent V and four equivalent Os atoms to form a mixture of distorted edge, face, and corner-sharing VV4Os4 tetrahedra. All V–V bond lengths are 2.60 Å. All V–Os bond lengths are 2.60 Å. In the second V site, V is bonded in a 8-coordinate geometry to eight equivalent V and six equivalent Os atoms. All V–Os bond lengths are 3.00 Å. Os is bonded in a distorted body-centered cubic geometry to fourteen V atoms.
