V Co Co Co
Co3V crystallizes in the triclinic P1 space group. V(1) is bonded in a distorted single-bond geometry to one Co(1) and two equivalent Co(2) atoms. The V(1)-Co(1) bond length is 1.15 Å. There is one shorter (2.46 Å) and one longer (2.92 Å) V(1)-Co(2) bond length. There are three inequivalent Co sites. In the first Co site, Co(1) is bonded in a distorted single-bond geometry to one V(1) and two equivalent Co(3) atoms. There is one shorter (2.13 Å) and one longer (2.65 Å) Co(1)-Co(3) bond length. In the second Co site, Co(2) is bonded in a 8-coordinate geometry to two equivalent V(1), two equivalent Co(3), and four equivalent Co(2) atoms. There is one shorter (2.13 Å) and one longer (2.65 Å) Co(2)-Co(3) bond length. All Co(2)-Co(2) bond lengths are 2.50 Å. In the third Co site, Co(3) is bonded in a 8-coordinate geometry to two equivalent Co(1), two equivalent Co(2), and four equivalent Co(3) atoms. All Co(3)-Co(3) bond lengths are 2.50 Å.
