The material described by V4Bi3 is Magnesium tetraboride-like structured and crystallizes in the monoclinic C2/m space group. There are five inequivalent V sites. In the first V site, V(1) is bonded in a 9-coordinate geometry to two equivalent V(3), two equivalent V(5), one Bi(2), two equivalent Bi(1), and two equivalent Bi(3) atoms. In the second V site, V(2) is bonded in a 6-coordinate geometry to one V(4), one Bi(3), two equivalent Bi(1), and three equivalent Bi(2) atoms. In the third V site, V(3) is bonded in a 7-coordinate geometry to two equivalent V(1), two equivalent V(5), two equivalent Bi(3), and three equivalent Bi(1) atoms. In the fourth V site, V(4) is bonded in a 8-coordinate geometry to two equivalent V(2), two equivalent Bi(3), and four equivalent Bi(2) atoms. In the fifth V site, V(5) is bonded in a 12-coordinate geometry to four equivalent V(1), four equivalent V(3), two equivalent Bi(1), and two equivalent Bi(3) atoms. There are three inequivalent Bi sites. In the first Bi site, Bi(1) is bonded in a 8-coordinate geometry to one V(5), two equivalent V(1), two equivalent V(2), and three equivalent V(3) atoms. In the second Bi site, Bi(2) is bonded in a 6-coordinate geometry to one V(1), two equivalent V(4), and three equivalent V(2) atoms. In the third Bi site, Bi(3) is bonded in a 7-coordinate geometry to one V(2), one V(4), one V(5), two equivalent V(1), and two equivalent V(3) atoms. is represented by the CIF file [CIF]
