The material structure described by VCr2C2 crystallizes in the orthorhombic Cmcm space group. V(1) is bonded to two equivalent C(1) and two equivalent C(2) atoms to form distorted corner-sharing VC4 tetrahedra. Cr(1) is bonded in a 4-coordinate geometry to two equivalent C(2) and three equivalent C(1) atoms. There are two inequivalent C sites. In the first C site, C(1) is bonded in a 8-coordinate geometry to two equivalent V(1) and six equivalent Cr(1) atoms. In the second C site, C(2) is bonded to two equivalent V(1) and four equivalent Cr(1) atoms to form a mixture of corner and edge-sharing CV2Cr4 octahedra. The corner-sharing octahedral tilt angles are 53°. is represented by the CIF file [CIF]
