CrVO4 crystallizes in the monoclinic C2/m space group. There are two inequivalent V sites. In the first V site, V(1) is bonded to one O(3), one O(4), and two equivalent O(1) atoms to form VO4 tetrahedra that share corners with two equivalent Cr(1)O6 octahedra and corners with four equivalent Cr(2)O6 octahedra. The corner-sharing octahedral tilt angles range from 18-62°. In the second V site, V(2) is bonded to two equivalent O(2) and two equivalent O(5) atoms to form VO4 tetrahedra that share corners with two equivalent Cr(2)O6 octahedra and corners with four equivalent Cr(1)O6 octahedra. The corner-sharing octahedral tilt angles range from 20-58°. There are two inequivalent Cr sites. In the first Cr site, Cr(1) is bonded to one O(3), one O(4), two equivalent O(2), and two equivalent O(5) atoms to form CrO6 octahedra that share corners with two equivalent V(1)O4 tetrahedra, corners with four equivalent V(2)O4 tetrahedra, and edges with two equivalent Cr(2)O6 octahedra. In the second Cr site, Cr(2) is bonded to two equivalent O(1), two equivalent O(2), and two equivalent O(3) atoms to form CrO6 octahedra that share corners with two equivalent V(2)O4 tetrahedra, corners with four equivalent V(1)O4 tetrahedra,  an edgeedge with one Cr(2)O6 octahedra, and edges with two equivalent Cr(1)O6 octahedra. There are five inequivalent O sites. In the first O site, O(1) is bonded in a bent 150 degrees geometry to one V(1) and one Cr(2) atom. In the second O site, O(2) is bonded in a distorted trigonal planar geometry to one V(2), one Cr(1), and one Cr(2) atom. In the third O site, O(3) is bonded to one V(1), one Cr(1), and two equivalent Cr(2) atoms to form distorted edge-sharing OVCr3 tetrahedra. In the fourth O site, O(4) is bonded in a bent 150 degrees geometry to one V(1) and one Cr(1) atom. In the fifth O site, O(5) is bonded in a bent 150 degrees geometry to one V(2) and one Cr(1) atom.
