VIn3 is beta Cu3Ti-like structured and crystallizes in the hexagonal P6_3/mmc space group. V(1) is bonded to twelve equivalent In(1) atoms to form VIn12 cuboctahedra that share corners with six equivalent V(1)In12 cuboctahedra, corners with twelve equivalent In(1)V4In8 cuboctahedra, edges with eighteen equivalent In(1)V4In8 cuboctahedra, faces with eight equivalent V(1)In12 cuboctahedra, and faces with twelve equivalent In(1)V4In8 cuboctahedra. In(1) is bonded to four equivalent V(1) and eight equivalent In(1) atoms to form InV4In8 cuboctahedra that share corners with four equivalent V(1)In12 cuboctahedra, corners with fourteen equivalent In(1)V4In8 cuboctahedra, edges with six equivalent V(1)In12 cuboctahedra, edges with twelve equivalent In(1)V4In8 cuboctahedra, faces with four equivalent V(1)In12 cuboctahedra, and faces with sixteen equivalent In(1)V4In8 cuboctahedra.

There are six shorter (3.09 Å) and six longer (3.17 Å) V(1)-In(1) bond lengths. In(1) is bonded to four equivalent V(1) and eight equivalent In(1) atoms to form InV4In8 cuboctahedra that share corners with four equivalent V(1)In12 cuboctahedra, corners with fourteen equivalent In(1)V4In8 cuboctahedra, edges with six equivalent V(1)In12 cuboctahedra, edges with twelve equivalent In(1)V4In8 cuboctahedra, faces with four equivalent V(1)In12 cuboctahedra, and faces with sixteen equivalent In(1)V4In8 cuboctahedra. There are a spread of In(1)-In(1) bond distances ranging from 3.03-3.21 Å.
