Al8V5 is gamma-brass structured and crystallizes in the cubic I-43m space group. There are two inequivalent V sites. In the first V site, V(1) is bonded in a 13-coordinate geometry to one V(1), two equivalent V(2), two equivalent Al(1), and eight equivalent Al(2) atoms. In the second V site, V(2) is bonded in a 12-coordinate geometry to three equivalent V(1), three equivalent Al(1), and six equivalent Al(2) atoms. There are two inequivalent Al sites. In the first Al site, Al(1) is bonded in a 12-coordinate geometry to three equivalent V(1), three equivalent V(2), three equivalent Al(1), and three equivalent Al(2) atoms. In the second Al site, Al(2) is bonded in a 11-coordinate geometry to two equivalent V(2), four equivalent V(1), one Al(1), and four equivalent Al(2) atoms.

In the first V site, V(1) is bonded in a 13-coordinate geometry to one V(1), two equivalent V(2), two equivalent Al(1), and eight equivalent Al(2) atoms. The V(1)-V(1) bond length is 2.83 Å. Both V(1)-V(2) bond lengths are 2.76 Å. Both V(1)-Al(1) bond lengths are 2.60 Å. There are a spread of V(1)-Al(2) bond distances ranging from 2.64-2.95 Å. In the second V site, V(2) is bonded in a 12-coordinate geometry to three equivalent V(1), three equivalent Al(1), and six equivalent Al(2) atoms. All V(2)-Al(1) bond lengths are 2.74 Å. There are three shorter (2.62 Å) and three longer (2.78 Å) V(2)-Al(2) bond lengths. There are two inequivalent Al sites.
