V2O3 is Corundum structured and 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 O(1), two equivalent O(2), and two equivalent O(3) atoms to form a mixture of corner, edge, and face-sharing VO6 octahedra. The corner-sharing octahedral tilt angles range from 46-61°. In the second V site, V(2) is bonded to two equivalent O(1), two equivalent O(2), and two equivalent O(3) atoms to form a mixture of corner, edge, and face-sharing VO6 octahedra. The corner-sharing octahedral tilt angles range from 46-61°. There are three inequivalent O sites. In the first O site, O(1) is bonded to two equivalent V(1) and two equivalent V(2) atoms to form a mixture of distorted corner and edge-sharing OV4 trigonal pyramids. In the second O site, O(2) is bonded to two equivalent V(1) and two equivalent V(2) atoms to form a mixture of distorted corner and edge-sharing OV4 trigonal pyramids. In the third O site, O(3) is bonded to two equivalent V(1) and two equivalent V(2) atoms to form a mixture of distorted corner and edge-sharing OV4 trigonal pyramids.

The corner-sharing octahedral tilt angles range from 46-61°. There is one shorter (1.99 Å) and one longer (2.14 Å) V(1)-O(1) bond length. Both V(1)-O(2) bond lengths are 2.07 Å. There is one shorter (2.01 Å) and one longer (2.11 Å) V(1)-O(3) bond length. In the second V site, V(2) is bonded to two equivalent O(1), two equivalent O(2), and two equivalent O(3) atoms to form a mixture of corner, edge, and face-sharing VO6 octahedra. The corner-sharing octahedral tilt angles range from 46-61°. There is one shorter (1.98 Å) and one longer (2.15 Å) V(2)-O(1) bond length. There is one shorter (2.01 Å) and one longer (2.11 Å) V(2)-O(2) bond length. There is one shorter (2.06 Å) and one longer (2.08 Å) V(2)-O(3) bond length. There are three inequivalent O sites.
