VAu2Al2 is Indium-like structured and crystallizes in the monoclinic Cm space group. The structure is zero-dimensional and consists of two VAu2Al2 clusters. V(1) is bonded in a 2-coordinate geometry to two equivalent Au(1) and one Al(1) atom. Both V(1)-Au(1) bond lengths are 0.27 Å. The V(1)-Al(1) bond length is 0.34 Å. Au(1) is bonded in a single-bond geometry to one V(1) and one Al(2) atom. The Au(1)-Al(2) bond length is 2.05 Å. There are two inequivalent Al sites. In the first Al site, Al(1) is bonded in a single-bond geometry to one V(1) atom. In the second Al site, Al(2) is bonded in a 2-coordinate geometry to two equivalent Au(1) atoms.
