The crystal structure described by V3B4 crystallizes in the orthorhombic Immm space group. There are two inequivalent V sites. In the first V site, V(1) is bonded to four equivalent B(1) and eight equivalent B(2) atoms to form a mixture of face and edge-sharing VB12 cuboctahedra. In the second V site, V(2) is bonded in a 7-coordinate geometry to two equivalent B(2) and five equivalent B(1) atoms. There are two inequivalent B sites. In the first B site, B(1) is bonded in a 9-coordinate geometry to two equivalent V(1), five equivalent V(2), and two equivalent B(2) atoms. In the second B site, B(2) is bonded in a 9-coordinate geometry to two equivalent V(2), four equivalent V(1), one B(2), and two equivalent B(1) atoms. is represented by the CIF file [CIF]
