The material described by V3Sb2 crystallizes in the trigonal R-3m space group. There are three inequivalent V sites. In the first V site, V(1) is bonded in a 11-coordinate geometry to six V(1,1); two equivalent Sb(2); and three equivalent Sb(1) atoms. In the second V site, V(1) is bonded in a 11-coordinate geometry to six V(1,1); two equivalent Sb(2); and three equivalent Sb(1) atoms. In the third V site, V(1) is bonded in a 11-coordinate geometry to six equivalent V(1), two equivalent Sb(2), and three equivalent Sb(1) atoms. There are two inequivalent Sb sites. In the first Sb site, Sb(1) is bonded in a distorted q6 geometry to nine V(1,1) atoms. In the second Sb site, Sb(2) is bonded in a 6-coordinate geometry to six V(1,1,1) atoms. is represented by the CIF card [CIF]
