In the first P site, P(1) is bonded in a 9-coordinate geometry to two equivalent U(1), one V(5), three equivalent V(1), and three equivalent V(2) atoms. In the second P site, P(2) is bonded in a 9-coordinate geometry to two equivalent U(1), one V(1), one V(4), two equivalent V(5), and three equivalent V(3) atoms. In the third P site, P(3) is bonded in a 9-coordinate geometry to two equivalent U(1), one V(2), one V(3), two equivalent V(5), and three equivalent V(4) atoms.
