Materials Data on V4Ir by Materials Project
V4Ir crystallizes in the orthorhombic Fmmm space group. The structure is three-dimensional. there are two inequivalent V sites. In the first V site, V is bonded in a 10-coordinate geometry to two equivalent V and two equivalent Ir atoms. Both V–V bond lengths are 2.52 Å. Both V–Ir bond lengths are 2.60 Å. In the second V site, V is bonded in a distorted body-centered cubic geometry to eight V atoms. There are two shorter (2.54 Å) and four longer (2.67 Å) V–V bond lengths. Ir is bonded in a 4-coordinate geometry to four equivalent V atoms.
