V2IrB2 crystallizes in the orthorhombic Pnnm space group. There are two inequivalent V sites. In the first V site, V(1) is bonded in a 9-coordinate geometry to five equivalent Ir(1), two equivalent B(1), and three equivalent B(2) atoms. In the second V site, V(2) is bonded in a 9-coordinate geometry to three equivalent Ir(1), three equivalent B(2), and four equivalent B(1) atoms. Ir(1) is bonded in a 12-coordinate geometry to three equivalent V(2), five equivalent V(1), one Ir(1), one B(1), and two equivalent B(2) atoms. There are two inequivalent B sites. In the first B site, B(1) is bonded in a 9-coordinate geometry to two equivalent V(1), four equivalent V(2), one Ir(1), one B(1), and one B(2) atom. In the second B site, B(2) is bonded in a 9-coordinate geometry to three equivalent V(1), three equivalent V(2), two equivalent Ir(1), and one B(1) atom.
