The results of a single-crystal x-ray-diffraction study of the evolution of the crystal structures of $\mathrm{V}{\mathrm{I}}_{3}$ with temperature with an emphasis on phase transitions are presented. Some related specific-heat and magnetization data are included. The existence of the room-temperature trigonal crystal structure $R\overline{3}$ (148) has been confirmed. Upon cooling, $\mathrm{V}{\mathrm{I}}_{3}$ …
