Materials Data on VBiO2 by Materials Project
BiVO2 crystallizes in the tetragonal I4_1/amd space group. The structure is three-dimensional. V3+ is bonded in a square co-planar geometry to four equivalent O2- atoms. All V–O bond lengths are 2.19 Å. Bi1+ is bonded to six equivalent O2- atoms to form edge-sharing BiO6 octahedra. There are two shorter (2.45 Å) and four longer (2.51 Å) Bi–O bond lengths. O2- is bonded in a 5-coordinate geometry to two equivalent V3+ and three equivalent Bi1+ atoms.
