At room temperature, sodium pentaoxodivanadate, NaV2O5, was found to have the centrosymmetric space group Pmmm. This space group implies the presence of only one kind of V site, in contrast with previous reports of the non-centrosymmetric P21mn counterpart. This indicates a non-integer valence state of vanadium. Furthermore, this symmetry has consequences for the interpretation of the transition at 34 K, which was ascribed to a spin-Peierls transition of one-dimensional chains of V4+ ions.
