Materials Data on Al3V by Materials Project

Abstract

Al3V is Uranium Silicide structured and crystallizes in the cubic Pm-3m space group. The structure is three-dimensional. V is bonded to twelve equivalent Al atoms to form VAl12 cuboctahedra that share corners with twelve equivalent VAl12 cuboctahedra, edges with twenty-four equivalent AlAl8V4 cuboctahedra, faces with six equivalent VAl12 cuboctahedra, and faces with twelve equivalent AlAl8V4 cuboctahedra. All V–Al bond lengths are 2.76 Å. Al is bonded to four equivalent V and eight equivalent Al atoms to form AlAl8V4 cuboctahedra that share corners with twelve equivalent AlAl8V4 cuboctahedra, edges with eight equivalent VAl12 cuboctahedra, edges with sixteen equivalent AlAl8V4 cuboctahedra, faces with four equivalent VAl12 cuboctahedra, and faces with fourteen equivalent AlAl8V4 cuboctahedra. All Al–Al bond lengths are 2.76 Å.
