The structure described by V3O5 crystallizes in the monoclinic C2 space group. There are three inequivalent V sites. In the first V site, V(1) is bonded to one O(1), one O(2), one O(3), one O(4), one O(5), and one O(6) atom to form a mixture of edge and corner-sharing VO6 octahedra. The corner-sharing octahedral tilt angles range from 40-61°. In the second V site, V(2) is bonded to one O(1), one O(6), two equivalent O(3), and two equivalent O(5) atoms to form a mixture of distorted edge, face, and corner-sharing VO6 octahedra. The corner-sharing octahedral tilt angles range from 40-55°. In the third V site, V(3) is bonded to one O(2), one O(5), two equivalent O(4), and two equivalent O(6) atoms to form a mixture of distorted edge, face, and corner-sharing VO6 octahedra. The corner-sharing octahedral tilt angles range from 47-55°. There are six inequivalent O sites. In the first O site, O(1) is bonded to two equivalent V(1) and two equivalent V(2) atoms to form a mixture of distorted edge and corner-sharing OV4 trigonal pyramids. In the second O site, O(2) is bonded to two equivalent V(1) and two equivalent V(3) atoms to form a mixture of distorted edge and corner-sharing OV4 trigonal pyramids. In the third O site, O(3) is bonded in a distorted trigonal planar geometry to one V(1) and two equivalent V(2) atoms. In the fourth O site, O(4) is bonded in a trigonal planar geometry to one V(1) and two equivalent V(3) atoms. In the fifth O site, O(5) is bonded to one V(1), one V(3), and two equivalent V(2) atoms to form a mixture of edge and corner-sharing OV4 trigonal pyramids. In the sixth O site, O(6) is bonded to one V(1), one V(2), and two equivalent V(3) atoms to form a mixture of edge and corner-sharing OV4 trigonal pyramids. is represented by the Crystallographic Information File (CIF) [CIF]
