IrV crystallizes in the orthorhombic Cmmm space group. There are three inequivalent V sites. In the first V site, V(1) is bonded in a 8-coordinate geometry to one V(3) and eight equivalent Ir(1) atoms. In the second V site, V(2) is bonded in a body-centered cubic geometry to eight equivalent Ir(1) atoms. In the third V site, V(3) is bonded to two equivalent V(1), two equivalent V(3), and eight equivalent Ir(1) atoms to form a mixture of distorted corner and face-sharing VV4Ir8 cuboctahedra. Ir(1) is bonded in a 8-coordinate geometry to two equivalent V(2), two equivalent V(3), and four equivalent V(1) atoms.
IrV crystallizes in the orthorhombic Cmmm space group. There are three inequivalent V sites. In the first V site, V(1) is bonded in a 8-coordinate geometry to one V(3) and eight equivalent Ir(1) atoms. The V(1)-V(3) bond length is 2.51 Å. There are four shorter (2.60 Å) and four longer (2.69 Å) V(1)-Ir(1) bond lengths. In the second V site, V(2) is bonded in a body-centered cubic geometry to eight equivalent Ir(1) atoms. All V(2)-Ir(1) bond lengths are 2.55 Å. In the third V site, V(3) is bonded to two equivalent V(1), two equivalent V(3), and eight equivalent Ir(1) atoms to form a mixture of distorted corner and face-sharing VV4Ir8 cuboctahedra. Both V(3)-V(3) bond lengths are 2.78 Å. All V(3)-Ir(1) bond lengths are 2.78 Å. Ir(1) is bonded in a 8-coordinate geometry to two equivalent V(2), two equivalent V(3), and four equivalent V(1) atoms.
