Materials Data on V3GeN by Materials Project

V3GeN crystallizes in the orthorhombic Cmcm space group. The structure is three-dimensional. there are two inequivalent V sites. In the first V site, V is bonded in a distorted bent 150 degrees geometry to two equivalent Ge and two equivalent N atoms. Both V–Ge bond lengths are 2.57 Å. Both V–N bond lengths are 1.97 Å. In the second V site, V is bonded in a distorted water-like geometry to three equivalent Ge and two equivalent N atoms. There are two shorter (2.57 Å) and one longer (2.58 Å) V–Ge bond lengths. Both V–N bond lengths are 2.02 Å. Ge is bonded in a 8-coordinate geometry to eight V atoms. N is bonded to six V atoms to form a mixture of edge and corner-sharing NV6 octahedra. The corner-sharing octahedral tilt angles are 24°.
