We present the analysis of three different Vanadates: InCu_2/3V_1/3O₃, Rb₂V₈O₁₆ and ZnV₂O₄. The layered compound InCu_2/3V_1/3O₃ is a representative of the quasi two-dimensional S=1/2 honeycomb lattice due to the ordering of Cu and V. A Néel-temperature near 38 K was deduced from anomalies in the magnetic susceptibility. We have studied the magnetic structure in InCu_2/3V_1/3O₃ by neutron diffraction on the high-flux powder diffractometer D20. A rise in scattering upon cooling indicates magnetic ordering to set in near the anomaly observed in the susceptibility. Furthermore, we discuss the charge and orbital ordering in Rb₂V₈O₁₆ and in ZnV₂O₄, as analysed by single-crystal x-ray diffraction as function of temperature.
