YV(TeO4)2 crystallizes in the orthorhombic Cmce space group. Y(1) is bonded in a 8-coordinate geometry to two equivalent O(2), two equivalent O(3), and four equivalent O(1) atoms. V(1) is bonded in a 6-coordinate geometry to two equivalent O(4), two equivalent O(5), and two equivalent O(6) atoms. There are two inequivalent Te sites. In the first Te site, Te(1) is bonded in a 3-coordinate geometry to one O(2) and two equivalent O(1) atoms. In the second Te site, Te(2) is bonded in a distorted T-shaped geometry to one O(3) and two equivalent O(4) atoms. There are six inequivalent O sites. In the first O site, O(1) is bonded in a 3-coordinate geometry to two equivalent Y(1) and one Te(1) atom. In the second O site, O(2) is bonded in a trigonal non-coplanar geometry to two equivalent Y(1) and one Te(1) atom. In the third O site, O(3) is bonded in a trigonal planar geometry to two equivalent Y(1) and one Te(2) atom. In the fourth O site, O(4) is bonded in a bent 120 degrees geometry to one V(1) and one Te(2) atom. In the fifth O site, O(5) is bonded in a bent 150 degrees geometry to two equivalent V(1) atoms. In the sixth O site, O(6) is bonded in a distorted single-bond geometry to two equivalent V(1) atoms.
