Materials Data on Al27V by Materials Project

V(Al)27 crystallizes in the cubic Fd-3m space group. The structure is three-dimensional and consists of twenty-four aluminum molecules, eight vanadium molecules, and one Al framework. In the Al framework, there are two inequivalent Al sites. In the first Al site, Al is bonded in a distorted T-shaped geometry to three Al atoms. There are two shorter (2.49 Å) and one longer (2.63 Å) Al–Al bond lengths. In the second Al site, Al is bonded in a rectangular see-saw-like geometry to four Al atoms. Both Al–Al bond lengths are 2.58 Å.
