VCrP2(HO5)2 crystallizes in the triclinic P-1 space group. V(1) is bonded in a distorted linear geometry to two equivalent O(2) and two equivalent O(3) atoms. Cr(1) is bonded in a 4-coordinate geometry to two equivalent O(4) and two equivalent O(5) atoms. P(1) is bonded in a distorted L-shaped geometry to one O(2), one O(3), one O(4), and one O(5) atom. H(1) is bonded in a distorted single-bond geometry to one O(1) and one O(2) atom. There are five inequivalent O sites. In the first O site, O(1) is bonded in a single-bond geometry to one H(1) atom. In the second O site, O(2) is bonded in a 3-coordinate geometry to one V(1), one P(1), and one H(1) atom. In the third O site, O(3) is bonded in a distorted bent 150 degrees geometry to one V(1) and one P(1) atom. In the fourth O site, O(4) is bonded in a water-like geometry to one Cr(1) and one P(1) atom. In the fifth O site, O(5) is bonded in a distorted bent 150 degrees geometry to one Cr(1) and one P(1) atom.
