The structure described by VFe2(PO4)3 crystallizes in the trigonal R-3c space group. V(1) is bonded to six equivalent O(2) atoms to form distorted VO6 octahedra that share corners with six equivalent P(1)O4 tetrahedra and faces with two equivalent Fe(1)O6 octahedra. Fe(1) is bonded to three equivalent O(1) and three equivalent O(2) atoms to form distorted FeO6 octahedra that share corners with six equivalent P(1)O4 tetrahedra and  a faceface with one V(1)O6 octahedra. P(1) is bonded to two equivalent O(1) and two equivalent O(2) atoms to form PO4 tetrahedra that share corners with two equivalent V(1)O6 octahedra and corners with four equivalent Fe(1)O6 octahedra. The corner-sharing octahedral tilt angles range from 30-54°. There are two inequivalent O sites. In the first O site, O(1) is bonded in a bent 150 degrees geometry to one Fe(1) and one P(1) atom. In the second O site, O(2) is bonded in a 3-coordinate geometry to one V(1), one Fe(1), and one P(1) atom. is represented by the Crystallographic Information File (CIF) [CIF]
