V10(GeSi)3 crystallizes in the hexagonal P-62m space group. There are three inequivalent V sites. In the first V site, V(1) is bonded in a 8-coordinate geometry to two equivalent V(1), three equivalent Ge(1), and three equivalent Si(1) atoms. In the second V site, V(2) is bonded in a 5-coordinate geometry to three equivalent Ge(1) and two equivalent Si(1) atoms. In the third V site, V(3) is bonded in a 5-coordinate geometry to two equivalent Ge(1) and three equivalent Si(1) atoms. Ge(1) is bonded in a 9-coordinate geometry to two equivalent V(3), three equivalent V(2), and four equivalent V(1) atoms. Si(1) is bonded in a 9-coordinate geometry to two equivalent V(2), three equivalent V(3), and four equivalent V(1) atoms.

In the first V site, V(1) is bonded in a 8-coordinate geometry to two equivalent V(1), three equivalent Ge(1), and three equivalent Si(1) atoms. There is one shorter (2.40 Å) and one longer (2.50 Å) V(1)-V(1) bond length. All V(1)-Ge(1) bond lengths are 2.54 Å. All V(1)-Si(1) bond lengths are 2.52 Å. In the second V site, V(2) is bonded in a 5-coordinate geometry to three equivalent Ge(1) and two equivalent Si(1) atoms. There are two shorter (2.48 Å) and one longer (2.58 Å) V(2)-Ge(1) bond length. Both V(2)-Si(1) bond lengths are 2.65 Å. In the third V site, V(3) is bonded in a 5-coordinate geometry to two equivalent Ge(1) and three equivalent Si(1) atoms. Both V(3)-Ge(1) bond lengths are 2.67 Å. There are two shorter (2.46 Å) and one longer (2.62 Å) V(3)-Si(1) bond length. Ge(1) is bonded in a 9-coordinate geometry to two equivalent V(3), three equivalent V(2), and four equivalent V(1) atoms. Si(1) is bonded in a 9-coordinate geometry to two equivalent V(2), three equivalent V(3), and four equivalent V(1) atoms.
