Ta3VS6 is Ilmenite-like structured and crystallizes in the hexagonal P6_322 space group. The structure is three-dimensional. there are two inequivalent Ta3+ sites. In the first Ta3+ site, Ta3+ is bonded to six equivalent S2- atoms to form distorted TaS6 pentagonal pyramids that share corners with six equivalent VS6 octahedra and edges with six equivalent TaS6 pentagonal pyramids. The corner-sharing octahedral tilt angles are 46°. All Ta–S bond lengths are 2.49 Å. In the second Ta3+ site, Ta3+ is bonded to six equivalent S2- atoms to form distorted TaS6 pentagonal pyramids that share corners with three equivalent VS6 octahedra, edges with six TaS6 pentagonal pyramids, and a faceface with one VS6 octahedra. The corner-sharing octahedral tilt angles are 46°. There are three shorter (2.48 Å) and three longer (2.50 Å) Ta–S bond lengths. V3+ is bonded to six equivalent S2- atoms to form VS6 octahedra that share corners with twelve TaS6 pentagonal pyramids and faces with two equivalent TaS6 pentagonal pyramids. All V–S bond lengths are 2.43 Å. S2- is bonded in a distorted rectangular see-saw-like geometry to three Ta3+ and one V3+ atom.
