AlVO3 is Ilmenite structured and crystallizes in the trigonal R-3 space group. V(1) is bonded to six equivalent O(1) atoms to form VO6 octahedra that share corners with nine equivalent Al(1)O6 octahedra, edges with three equivalent V(1)O6 octahedra, and  a faceface with one Al(1)O6 octahedra. The corner-sharing octahedral tilt angles range from 45-59°. Al(1) is bonded to six equivalent O(1) atoms to form AlO6 octahedra that share corners with nine equivalent V(1)O6 octahedra, edges with three equivalent Al(1)O6 octahedra, and  a faceface with one V(1)O6 octahedra. The corner-sharing octahedral tilt angles range from 45-59°. O(1) is bonded to two equivalent V(1) and two equivalent Al(1) atoms to form a mixture of distorted corner and edge-sharing OAl2V2 trigonal pyramids.
