The material described by V5Bi3 crystallizes in the tetragonal I4/mcm space group. There are two inequivalent V sites. In the first V site, V(1) is bonded in a 7-coordinate geometry to one V(1), two equivalent V(2), two equivalent Bi(2), and four equivalent Bi(1) atoms. In the second V site, V(2) is bonded in a 14-coordinate geometry to two equivalent V(2), eight equivalent V(1), and four equivalent Bi(1) atoms. There are two inequivalent Bi sites. In the first Bi site, Bi(2) is bonded in a distorted q6 geometry to eight equivalent V(1) and two equivalent Bi(2) atoms. In the second Bi site, Bi(1) is bonded in a 10-coordinate geometry to two equivalent V(2) and eight equivalent V(1) atoms. is represented by the Crystallographic Information File (CIF) [CIF]
