The material structure described by Co3V crystallizes in the trigonal R-3m space group. V(1) is bonded to six equivalent V(1) and six equivalent Co(1) atoms to form VV6Co6 cuboctahedra that share corners with six equivalent V(1)V6Co6 cuboctahedra, corners with six equivalent Co(2)Co12 cuboctahedra, edges with six equivalent V(1)V6Co6 cuboctahedra, edges with six equivalent Co(2)Co12 cuboctahedra, edges with twelve equivalent Co(1)V3Co9 cuboctahedra, faces with six equivalent V(1)V6Co6 cuboctahedra, and faces with twelve equivalent Co(1)V3Co9 cuboctahedra. There are two inequivalent Co sites. In the first Co site, Co(1) is bonded to three equivalent V(1), three equivalent Co(2), and six equivalent Co(1) atoms to form CoV3Co9 cuboctahedra that share corners with twelve equivalent Co(1)V3Co9 cuboctahedra, edges with six equivalent V(1)V6Co6 cuboctahedra, edges with six equivalent Co(2)Co12 cuboctahedra, edges with twelve equivalent Co(1)V3Co9 cuboctahedra, faces with six equivalent V(1)V6Co6 cuboctahedra, faces with six equivalent Co(2)Co12 cuboctahedra, and faces with six equivalent Co(1)V3Co9 cuboctahedra. In the second Co site, Co(2) is bonded to six equivalent Co(1) and six equivalent Co(2) atoms to form CoCo12 cuboctahedra that share corners with six equivalent V(1)V6Co6 cuboctahedra, corners with six equivalent Co(2)Co12 cuboctahedra, edges with six equivalent V(1)V6Co6 cuboctahedra, edges with six equivalent Co(2)Co12 cuboctahedra, edges with twelve equivalent Co(1)V3Co9 cuboctahedra, faces with six equivalent Co(2)Co12 cuboctahedra, and faces with twelve equivalent Co(1)V3Co9 cuboctahedra. is represented by the CIF card [CIF]
