The structure described by VMn5Al2 is Heusler-like structured and crystallizes in the monoclinic C2/m space group. V(1) is bonded in a body-centered cubic geometry to two equivalent Mn(1) and six equivalent Mn(2) atoms. There are three inequivalent Mn sites. In the first Mn site, Mn(1) is bonded in a distorted body-centered cubic geometry to one V(1), three equivalent Mn(3), and four equivalent Al(1) atoms. In the second Mn site, Mn(2) is bonded in a distorted body-centered cubic geometry to three equivalent V(1), one Mn(3), and four equivalent Al(1) atoms. In the third Mn site, Mn(3) is bonded in a distorted body-centered cubic geometry to two equivalent Mn(2), six equivalent Mn(1), and six equivalent Al(1) atoms. Al(1) is bonded in a distorted body-centered cubic geometry to three equivalent Mn(3), four equivalent Mn(1), and four equivalent Mn(2) atoms. is represented by the CIF card [CIF]
