V3Mo3Si2 crystallizes in the trigonal R32 space group. V(1) is bonded in a 2-coordinate geometry to two equivalent Mo(1) and four equivalent Si(1) atoms. Mo(1) is bonded in a 2-coordinate geometry to two equivalent V(1) and four equivalent Si(1) atoms. Si(1) is bonded to six equivalent V(1) and six equivalent Mo(1) atoms to form a mixture of edge and face-sharing SiV6Mo6 cuboctahedra.
V3Mo3Si2 crystallizes in the trigonal R32 space group. V(1) is bonded in a 2-coordinate geometry to two equivalent Mo(1) and four equivalent Si(1) atoms. Both V(1)-Mo(1) bond lengths are 2.39 Å. There are two shorter (2.63 Å) and two longer (2.68 Å) V(1)-Si(1) bond lengths. Mo(1) is bonded in a 2-coordinate geometry to two equivalent V(1) and four equivalent Si(1) atoms. There are two shorter (2.66 Å) and two longer (2.71 Å) Mo(1)-Si(1) bond lengths. Si(1) is bonded to six equivalent V(1) and six equivalent Mo(1) atoms to form a mixture of edge and face-sharing SiV6Mo6 cuboctahedra.
