Bi is beta Polonium-like structured and crystallizes in the monoclinic P2_1/m space group. The structure is three-dimensional. there are two inequivalent Bi sites. In the first Bi site, Bi is bonded to six equivalent Bi atoms to form a mixture of edge and corner-sharing BiBi6 octahedra. The corner-sharing octahedra tilt angles range from 7–21°. There are a spread of Bi–Bi bond distances ranging from 3.22–3.38 Å. In the second Bi site, Bi is bonded to six equivalent Bi atoms to form a mixture of edge and corner-sharing BiBi6 octahedra. The corner-sharing octahedra tilt angles range from 7–21°.
