The structure described by V2O3 is Corundum-like structured and crystallizes in the cubic Ia-3 space group. There are two inequivalent V sites. In the first V site, V(1) is bonded to six equivalent O(1) atoms to form a mixture of distorted corner and edge-sharing VO6 octahedra. The corner-sharing octahedral tilt angles range from 54-55°. In the second V site, V(2) is bonded to six equivalent O(1) atoms to form a mixture of corner and edge-sharing VO6 octahedra. The corner-sharing octahedral tilt angles are 54°. O(1) is bonded to one V(2) and three equivalent V(1) atoms to form a mixture of corner and edge-sharing OV4 trigonal pyramids. is represented by the Crystallographic Information File (CIF) [CIF]
