  • There are three known varieties of Bi$_{4}$V$_{2}$O$_{11}$ (Villars, 2018):
    • $\alpha$, the ground state structure, stable up to 450°C,
    • $\beta$, stable between 450°C and 555°C, and
    • $\gamma$, stable from 555°C up to the melting point at 880°C (this structure).
  • The data for this structure was taken at 550°C.
  • Most of the Wyckoff positions here are only partially occupied: Bi-I 50%, Bi-II 25%, O-II 23.8%, O-III 19.8%, and V 25%, giving a stoichiometry of Bi$_{4}$V$_{2}$O$_{10.976}$. This structure is also sometimes described as Bi$_{2}$VO$_{5.5}$.
