VTe5 crystallizes in the trigonal R3m space group. V(1) is bonded in a distorted tetrahedral geometry to one Te(1) and three equivalent Te(3) atoms. The V(1)-Te(1) bond length is 3.27 Å. All V(1)-Te(3) bond lengths are 2.94 Å. There are three inequivalent Te sites. In the first Te site, Te(1) is bonded in a distorted single-bond geometry to one V(1) and three equivalent Te(3) atoms. All Te(1)-Te(3) bond lengths are 2.82 Å. In the second Te site, Te(2) is bonded in a 3-coordinate geometry to three equivalent Te(3) atoms. All Te(2)-Te(3) bond lengths are 2.40 Å. In the third Te site, Te(3) is bonded in a 3-coordinate geometry to one V(1), one Te(1), one Te(2), and two equivalent Te(3) atoms. Both Te(3)-Te(3) bond lengths are 1.39 Å.
