V5As3 crystallizes in the tetragonal I4/mcm space group. There are two inequivalent V sites. In the first V site, V(1) is bonded in a 6-coordinate geometry to two equivalent As(2) and four equivalent As(1) atoms. In the second V site, V(2) is bonded in a 4-coordinate geometry to four equivalent As(1) atoms. There are two inequivalent As sites. In the first As site, As(2) is bonded in a 10-coordinate geometry to eight equivalent V(1) and two equivalent As(2) atoms. In the second As site, As(1) is bonded in a 10-coordinate geometry to two equivalent V(2) and eight equivalent V(1) atoms.
V5As3 crystallizes in the tetragonal I4/mcm space group. There are two inequivalent V sites. In the first V site, V(1) is bonded in a 6-coordinate geometry to two equivalent As(2) and four equivalent As(1) atoms. Both V(1)-As(2) bond lengths are 2.58 Å. There are a spread of V(1)-As(1) bond distances ranging from 2.50-2.77 Å. In the second V site, V(2) is bonded in a 4-coordinate geometry to four equivalent As(1) atoms. All V(2)-As(1) bond lengths are 2.50 Å. There are two inequivalent As sites. In the first As site, As(2) is bonded in a 10-coordinate geometry to eight equivalent V(1) and two equivalent As(2) atoms. Both As(2)-As(2) bond lengths are 2.44 Å. In the second As site, As(1) is bonded in a 10-coordinate geometry to two equivalent V(2) and eight equivalent V(1) atoms.
