Materials Data on VFe3 by Materials Project
VFe3 crystallizes in the orthorhombic Cmmm space group. The structure is three-dimensional. V is bonded in a 8-coordinate geometry to four equivalent Fe atoms. All V–Fe bond lengths are 2.50 Å. There are two inequivalent Fe sites. In the first Fe site, Fe is bonded in a 8-coordinate geometry to two equivalent V and two equivalent Fe atoms. Both Fe–Fe bond lengths are 2.46 Å. In the second Fe site, Fe is bonded in a distorted body-centered cubic geometry to eight Fe atoms. All Fe–Fe bond lengths are 2.49 Å.
