  • An earlier version of this structure found by (Ketelaar, 1936) was given the $D8_{7}$ Strukturbericht designation in (Gottfried, 1938). It was later realized that this structure had a rather unexpected arrangement of vanadium atoms, and the structure was revised by (Enjalbert, 1986) and others.

Simple Orthorhombic primitive vectors:

\[ \begin{array}{ccc} \mathbf{a}_1 & = & a \, \mathbf{\hat{x}} \\ \mathbf{a}_2 & = & b \, \mathbf{\hat{y}} \\ \mathbf{a}_3 & = & c \, \mathbf{\hat{z}} \\ \end{array} \]
