VF3 crystallizes in the tetragonal P4_2/mnm space group. V(1) is bonded to two equivalent F(1) and four equivalent F(2) atoms to form a mixture of corner and edge-sharing VF6 octahedra. The corner-sharing octahedral tilt angles are 41°. There are two inequivalent F sites. In the first F site, F(1) is bonded in a water-like geometry to two equivalent V(1) atoms. In the second F site, F(2) is bonded in a bent 150 degrees geometry to two equivalent V(1) atoms.
VF3 crystallizes in the tetragonal P4_2/mnm space group. V(1) is bonded to two equivalent F(1) and four equivalent F(2) atoms to form a mixture of corner and edge-sharing VF6 octahedra. The corner-sharing octahedral tilt angles are 41°. Both V(1)-F(1) bond lengths are 2.00 Å. There are two shorter (1.98 Å) and two longer (1.99 Å) V(1)-F(2) bond lengths. There are two inequivalent F sites. In the first F site, F(1) is bonded in a water-like geometry to two equivalent V(1) atoms. In the second F site, F(2) is bonded in a bent 150 degrees geometry to two equivalent V(1) atoms.
