CdVO3 crystallizes in the orthorhombic Pnma space group. V(1) is bonded to one O(1), one O(2), and three equivalent O(3) atoms to form distorted VO5 trigonal bipyramids that share corners with four equivalent Cd(1)O6 octahedra, corners with two equivalent V(1)O5 trigonal bipyramids, edges with two equivalent Cd(1)O6 octahedra, and edges with two equivalent V(1)O5 trigonal bipyramids. The corner-sharing octahedral tilt angles range from 52-67°. Cd(1) is bonded to one O(3), two equivalent O(2), and three equivalent O(1) atoms to form distorted CdO6 octahedra that share corners with four equivalent Cd(1)O6 octahedra, corners with four equivalent V(1)O5 trigonal bipyramids, edges with two equivalent Cd(1)O6 octahedra, and edges with two equivalent V(1)O5 trigonal bipyramids. The corner-sharing octahedral tilt angles are 66°. There are three inequivalent O sites. In the first O site, O(1) is bonded to one V(1) and three equivalent Cd(1) atoms to form corner-sharing OVCd3 tetrahedra. In the second O site, O(2) is bonded in a 3-coordinate geometry to one V(1) and two equivalent Cd(1) atoms. In the third O site, O(3) is bonded in a 4-coordinate geometry to three equivalent V(1) and one Cd(1) atom.

The corner-sharing octahedral tilt angles range from 52-67°. The V(1)-O(1) bond length is 1.89 Å. The V(1)-O(2) bond length is 1.69 Å. There are two shorter (1.94 Å) and one longer (1.97 Å) V(1)-O(3) bond length. Cd(1) is bonded to one O(3), two equivalent O(2), and three equivalent O(1) atoms to form distorted CdO6 octahedra that share corners with four equivalent Cd(1)O6 octahedra, corners with four equivalent V(1)O5 trigonal bipyramids, edges with two equivalent Cd(1)O6 octahedra, and edges with two equivalent V(1)O5 trigonal bipyramids. The corner-sharing octahedral tilt angles are 66°. The Cd(1)-O(3) bond length is 2.49 Å. Both Cd(1)-O(2) bond lengths are 2.39 Å. There is one shorter (2.22 Å) and two longer (2.27 Å) Cd(1)-O(1) bond lengths. There are three inequivalent O sites.
