- Exploring and synthesizing materials with new crystal structures provides an important route to discovering exotic quantum phenomena. However, materials with unconventional lattice geometries remain largely unexplored. Here, we report the discovery of a new vanadium-based material, $\mathrm{Cs_3V_9Te_{13}}$, featuring a Reuleaux-triangle-like lattice. Electrical transport and magnetic measurements consistently reveal an anomaly near 48 K, and this feature shows little sensitivity to the applied magnetic field. A corresponding anomaly is also observed in the Hall coefficient near 48 K, indicating a marked change in the carrier response. In addition, temperature-dependent x-ray diffraction results indicate no obvious structural change across 48 K. Taken together, these results suggest that the anomaly is not induced by the structural transition, but associated to a possible electronic and/or magnetic phase transition. High-pressure transport measurements and first-principles calculations further reveal a highly tunable electronic state in $\mathrm{Cs_3V_9Te_{13}}$, with the kagome-like electronic feature and pressure-suppressed antiferromagnetism. These results demonstrate this material, with its structurally novel Reuleaux-triangle-like lattice, as a new platform for exploring the interplay between nontrivial lattice geometry and emergent physical phenomena.
