VBi2 crystallizes in the monoclinic C2/m space group. V(1) is bonded in a 8-coordinate geometry to three equivalent Bi(2) and five equivalent Bi(1) atoms. There are two inequivalent Bi sites. In the first Bi site, Bi(1) is bonded in a 5-coordinate geometry to five equivalent V(1) atoms. In the second Bi site, Bi(2) is bonded in a 3-coordinate geometry to three equivalent V(1) atoms.
VBi2 crystallizes in the monoclinic C2/m space group. V(1) is bonded in a 8-coordinate geometry to three equivalent Bi(2) and five equivalent Bi(1) atoms. There are two shorter (2.86 Å) and one longer (3.02 Å) V(1)-Bi(2) bond length. There are a spread of V(1)-Bi(1) bond distances ranging from 2.94-3.19 Å. There are two inequivalent Bi sites. In the first Bi site, Bi(1) is bonded in a 5-coordinate geometry to five equivalent V(1) atoms. In the second Bi site, Bi(2) is bonded in a 3-coordinate geometry to three equivalent V(1) atoms.
