VO2 crystallizes in the tetragonal I4/mmm space group. V(1) is bonded to two equivalent O(2) and four equivalent O(1) atoms to form a mixture of distorted corner and edge-sharing VO6 octahedra. The corner-sharing octahedral tilt angles range from 8-27°. There are two inequivalent O sites. In the first O site, O(1) is bonded to four equivalent V(1) atoms to form a mixture of distorted corner and edge-sharing OV4 tetrahedra. In the second O site, O(2) is bonded in a linear geometry to two equivalent V(1) atoms.

The corner-sharing octahedral tilt angles range from 8-27°. Both V(1)-O(2) bond lengths are 1.76 Å. There are two shorter (1.94 Å) and two longer (2.14 Å) V(1)-O(1) bond lengths. There are two inequivalent O sites. In the first O site, O(1) is bonded to four equivalent V(1) atoms to form a mixture of distorted corner and edge-sharing OV4 tetrahedra. In the second O site, O(2) is bonded in a linear geometry to two equivalent V(1) atoms.
