Materials Data on V3Cr3Si2 by Materials Project
V3Cr3Si2 crystallizes in the trigonal R32 space group. The structure is three-dimensional. V is bonded in a 6-coordinate geometry to two equivalent Cr and four equivalent Si atoms. Both V–Cr bond lengths are 2.30 Å. There are two shorter (2.57 Å) and two longer (2.58 Å) V–Si bond lengths. Cr is bonded in a 6-coordinate geometry to two equivalent V and four equivalent Si atoms. All Cr–Si bond lengths are 2.57 Å. Si is bonded to six equivalent V and six equivalent Cr atoms to form a mixture of edge and face-sharing SiV6Cr6 cuboctahedra.
