The material structure described by V10(GeSi)3 crystallizes in the hexagonal P-62m space group. There are three inequivalent V sites. In the first V site, V(1) is bonded in a 8-coordinate geometry to two equivalent V(1), three equivalent Ge(1), and three equivalent Si(1) atoms. In the second V site, V(2) is bonded in a 5-coordinate geometry to three equivalent Ge(1) and two equivalent Si(1) atoms. In the third V site, V(3) is bonded in a 5-coordinate geometry to two equivalent Ge(1) and three equivalent Si(1) atoms. Ge(1) is bonded in a 9-coordinate geometry to two equivalent V(3), three equivalent V(2), and four equivalent V(1) atoms. Si(1) is bonded in a 9-coordinate geometry to two equivalent V(2), three equivalent V(3), and four equivalent V(1) atoms. is represented by the Crystallographic Information File (CIF) [CIF]
