VB1 is Hg_xSn structured and crystallizes in the triclinic P-1 space group. The structure is zero-dimensional and consists of one VB1 cluster. V(1) is bonded in a distorted L-shaped geometry to two equivalent B(1) atoms. There is one shorter (0.46 Å) and one longer (0.62 Å) V(1)-B(1) bond length. B(1) is bonded in a distorted L-shaped geometry to two equivalent V(1) atoms.
