V(CO3)2 crystallizes in the tetragonal I-42d space group. V(1) is bonded in an octahedral geometry to two equivalent O(1), two equivalent O(2), and two equivalent O(3) atoms. C(1) is bonded in a trigonal planar geometry to one O(1), one O(2), and one O(3) atom. There are three inequivalent O sites. In the first O site, O(1) is bonded in a distorted bent 150 degrees geometry to one V(1) and one C(1) atom. In the second O site, O(2) is bonded in a bent 150 degrees geometry to one V(1) and one C(1) atom. In the third O site, O(3) is bonded in a distorted bent 150 degrees geometry to one V(1) and one C(1) atom.
