IrV is beta-prime cadmium gold-like structured and crystallizes in the orthorhombic Immm space group. There are six inequivalent V sites. In the first V site, V(1) is bonded in a 8-coordinate geometry to one V(5), two equivalent Ir(1), two equivalent Ir(3), and four equivalent Ir(2) atoms. In the second V site, V(2) is bonded in a 8-coordinate geometry to one V(6), two equivalent Ir(1), two equivalent Ir(3), and four equivalent Ir(2) atoms. In the third V site, V(3) is bonded in a body-centered cubic geometry to four equivalent Ir(2) and four equivalent Ir(3) atoms. In the fourth V site, V(4) is bonded in a 8-coordinate geometry to four equivalent Ir(1) and four equivalent Ir(2) atoms. In the fifth V site, V(5) is bonded to one V(5), one V(6), two equivalent V(1), four equivalent Ir(1), and four equivalent Ir(2) atoms to form a mixture of distorted corner and face-sharing VV4Ir8 cuboctahedra. In the sixth V site, V(6) is bonded to one V(5), one V(6), two equivalent V(2), four equivalent Ir(2), and four equivalent Ir(3) atoms to form a mixture of distorted corner and face-sharing VV4Ir8 cuboctahedra. There are three inequivalent Ir sites. In the first Ir site, Ir(1) is bonded in a 8-coordinate geometry to two equivalent V(1), two equivalent V(2), two equivalent V(4), and two equivalent V(5) atoms. In the second Ir site, Ir(2) is bonded in a 8-coordinate geometry to one V(3), one V(4), one V(5), one V(6), two equivalent V(1), and two equivalent V(2) atoms. In the third Ir site, Ir(3) is bonded in a 8-coordinate geometry to two equivalent V(1), two equivalent V(2), two equivalent V(3), and two equivalent V(6) atoms.
