Materials Data on AlV2 by Materials Project
V2Al is beta-prime cadmium gold-like structured and crystallizes in the orthorhombic Fmmm space group. The structure is three-dimensional. V is bonded in a distorted body-centered cubic geometry to six equivalent V and two equivalent Al atoms. There are two shorter (2.55 Å) and four longer (2.64 Å) V–V bond lengths. Both V–Al bond lengths are 2.68 Å. Al is bonded in a distorted body-centered cubic geometry to four equivalent V and four equivalent Al atoms. All Al–Al bond lengths are 2.64 Å.
