La Al Al V
LaVAl2 crystallizes in the monoclinic Cm space group. The structure is zero-dimensional and consists of two LaVAl2 clusters. La(1) is bonded in a distorted water-like geometry to one Al(1) and one Al(2) atom. The La(1)-Al(1) bond length is 2.42 Å. The La(1)-Al(2) bond length is 2.42 Å. V(1) is bonded in a 1-coordinate geometry to one Al(2) atom. The V(1)-Al(2) bond length is 1.96 Å. There are two inequivalent Al sites. In the first Al site, Al(1) is bonded in a distorted single-bond geometry to one La(1) atom. In the second Al site, Al(2) is bonded in a distorted L-shaped geometry to one La(1) and one V(1) atom.
