The structure described by V2B3 crystallizes in the orthorhombic Cmcm space group. There are two inequivalent V sites. In the first V site, V(1) is bonded in a 7-coordinate geometry to two equivalent B(2) and five equivalent B(1) atoms. In the second V site, V(2) is bonded to two equivalent B(1), four equivalent B(2), and six equivalent B(3) atoms to form a mixture of face and edge-sharing VB12 cuboctahedra. There are three inequivalent B sites. In the first B site, B(1) is bonded in a 9-coordinate geometry to two equivalent V(2), five equivalent V(1), and two equivalent B(2) atoms. In the second B site, B(2) is bonded in a 9-coordinate geometry to two equivalent V(1), four equivalent V(2), one B(3), and two equivalent B(1) atoms. In the third B site, B(3) is bonded in a 9-coordinate geometry to six equivalent V(2), one B(2), and two equivalent B(3) atoms. is represented by the Crystallographic Information File (CIF) [CIF]
