CuCd(VO4) is Esseneite-like structured and crystallizes in the orthorhombic Cmcm space group. V(1) is bonded to two equivalent O(1) and two equivalent O(2) atoms to form VO4 tetrahedra that share corners with six equivalent Cd(1)O6 octahedra. The corner-sharing octahedral tilt angles range from 51-53°. Cu(1) is bonded in a 4-coordinate geometry to two equivalent O(1) and two equivalent O(2) atoms. Cd(1) is bonded to two equivalent O(1) and four equivalent O(2) atoms to form CdO6 octahedra that share corners with six equivalent V(1)O4 tetrahedra and edges with two equivalent Cd(1)O6 octahedra. There are two inequivalent O sites. In the first O site, O(1) is bonded in a 3-coordinate geometry to one V(1), one Cu(1), and one Cd(1) atom. In the second O site, O(2) is bonded to one V(1), one Cu(1), and two equivalent Cd(1) atoms to form a mixture of distorted corner and edge-sharing OVCd2Cu tetrahedra.
