CuVO3 crystallizes in the cubic Im-3 space group. V(1) is bonded to six equivalent O(1) atoms to form VO6 octahedra that share corners with six equivalent V(1)O6 octahedra and faces with two equivalent Cu(1)O12 cuboctahedra. The corner-sharing octahedral tilt angles are 38°. There are two inequivalent Cu sites. In the first Cu site, Cu(1) is bonded to twelve equivalent O(1) atoms to form CuO12 cuboctahedra that share faces with eight equivalent V(1)O6 octahedra. In the second Cu site, Cu(2) is bonded in a square co-planar geometry to four equivalent O(1) atoms. O(1) is bonded in a 3-coordinate geometry to two equivalent V(1), one Cu(1), and one Cu(2) atom.
