VF3 crystallizes in the triclinic P-1 space group. There are two inequivalent V sites. In the first V site, V(1) is bonded to two equivalent F(1), two equivalent F(2), and two equivalent F(3) atoms to form corner-sharing VF6 octahedra. The corner-sharing octahedral tilt angles are 37°. In the second V site, V(2) is bonded to two equivalent F(1), two equivalent F(2), and two equivalent F(3) atoms to form corner-sharing VF6 octahedra. The corner-sharing octahedral tilt angles are 37°. There are three inequivalent F sites. In the first F site, F(1) is bonded in a bent 150 degrees geometry to one V(1) and one V(2) atom. In the second F site, F(2) is bonded in a bent 150 degrees geometry to one V(1) and one V(2) atom. In the third F site, F(3) is bonded in a bent 150 degrees geometry to one V(1) and one V(2) atom.
