Vanadium(III) oxide is the inorganic compound with the formula V2O3. It is a black solid prepared by reduction of V2O5 with hydrogen or carbon monoxide.[3][4] It is a basic oxide dissolving in acids to give solutions of vanadium (III) complexes.[4] V2O3 has the corundum structure.[4] It is antiferromagnetic with a critical temperature of 160 K. [5] At this temperature there is an abrupt change in conductivity from metallic to insulating.[5] This also distorts the crystal structure to a monoclinic space group: C2/c.[1]

Upon exposure to air it gradually converts into indigo-blue V2O4.[5]

In nature it occurs as the rare mineral karelianite.[6]
