CrVO4 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 Cr(1)O6 octahedra. The corner-sharing octahedral tilt angles range from 48-54°. Cr(1) is bonded to two equivalent O(2) and four equivalent O(1) atoms to form CrO6 octahedra that share corners with six equivalent V(1)O4 tetrahedra and edges with two equivalent Cr(1)O6 octahedra. There are two inequivalent O sites. In the first O site, O(1) is bonded in a distorted trigonal planar geometry to one V(1) and two equivalent Cr(1) atoms. In the second O site, O(2) is bonded in a distorted bent 120 degrees geometry to one V(1) and one Cr(1) atom.
CrVO4 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 Cr(1)O6 octahedra. The corner-sharing octahedral tilt angles range from 48-54°. Both V(1)-O(1) bond lengths are 1.80 Å. Both V(1)-O(2) bond lengths are 1.67 Å. Cr(1) is bonded to two equivalent O(2) and four equivalent O(1) atoms to form CrO6 octahedra that share corners with six equivalent V(1)O4 tetrahedra and edges with two equivalent Cr(1)O6 octahedra. Both Cr(1)-O(2) bond lengths are 1.95 Å. All Cr(1)-O(1) bond lengths are 2.00 Å. There are two inequivalent O sites. In the first O site, O(1) is bonded in a distorted trigonal planar geometry to one V(1) and two equivalent Cr(1) atoms. In the second O site, O(2) is bonded in a distorted bent 120 degrees geometry to one V(1) and one Cr(1) atom.
