VCdPO7 crystallizes in the monoclinic P2_1 space group. V(1) is bonded in a 6-coordinate geometry to one O(2), one O(4), one O(5), one O(6), and two equivalent O(7) atoms. Cd(1) is bonded to one O(2), one O(4), two equivalent O(1), and two equivalent O(3) atoms to form CdO6 octahedra that share corners with four equivalent P(1)O4 tetrahedra and edges with two equivalent Cd(1)O6 octahedra. P(1) is bonded to one O(1), one O(3), one O(5), and one O(6) atom to form PO4 tetrahedra that share corners with four equivalent Cd(1)O6 octahedra.

In the first O site, O(1) is bonded in a distorted trigonal planar geometry to two equivalent Cd(1) and one P(1) atom. In the second O site, O(2) is bonded in a distorted bent 120 degrees geometry to one V(1) and one Cd(1) atom.
