The compound described by V2(PO4)3 crystallizes in the trigonal R-3c space group. V(1) is bonded to three equivalent O(1) and three equivalent O(2) atoms to form VO6 octahedra that share corners with six equivalent P(1)O4 tetrahedra. P(1) is bonded to two equivalent O(1) and two equivalent O(2) atoms to form PO4 tetrahedra that share corners with four equivalent V(1)O6 octahedra. The corner-sharing octahedral tilt angles range from 21-35°. There are two inequivalent O sites. In the first O site, O(1) is bonded in a bent 150 degrees geometry to one V(1) and one P(1) atom. In the second O site, O(2) is bonded in a bent 150 degrees geometry to one V(1) and one P(1) atom. is represented by the CIF card [CIF]
