Materials Data on VBi2 by Materials Project
VBi2 crystallizes in the monoclinic C2/m space group. The structure is three-dimensional. V is bonded in a 8-coordinate geometry to eight Bi atoms. There are a spread of V–Bi bond distances ranging from 2.86–3.19 Å. There are two inequivalent Bi sites. In the first Bi site, Bi is bonded in a 5-coordinate geometry to five equivalent V atoms. In the second Bi site, Bi is bonded in a 3-coordinate geometry to three equivalent V atoms.
