  1. a 51V isotropic chemical shift (δISO), quadrupolar coupling constant (|CQ|), biaxiality of the EFG tensor (ηQ), chemical shift anisotropy (δCSA), biaxiality of the CSA tensor (ηCSA), and isotropic shielding (σISO) determined from the experimental MAS spectra (20.0 and 9.4 T) of BiVO4 and from DFT-GIPAW computations after geometry optimization of the experimental structure. (α, β, γ) are the Euler angles describing the relative orientation of the EFG and CSA tensors. b 51V δISO, |CQ|, ηQ, full-width at half-maximum (FWHM), relative intensities and assignment of the four individual contributions in 51V MAS NMR spectra of Sr0.1Bi0.9VO3.95. c Average 51V isotropic chemical shift (δISOav), quadrupolar coupling parameters (|CQ|av), and biaxiality of the EFG tensor (ηQav) and their standard deviations (σ) for isolated VO4 tetrahedra with different number of Sr/Bi atoms surrounding them in their second coordination spheres and V2O7 dimers in Sr0.125Bi0.875O3.9375
