AgCdVO4 crystallizes in the orthorhombic Pnma space group. V(1) is bonded to one O(1), one O(2), and two equivalent O(3) atoms to form VO4 tetrahedra that share corners with six equivalent Cd(1)O6 octahedra and corners with four equivalent Ag(1)O4 tetrahedra. The corner-sharing octahedral tilt angles range from 45-53°. Ag(1) is bonded to one O(1), one O(2), and two equivalent O(3) atoms to form distorted AgO4 tetrahedra that share corners with six equivalent Cd(1)O6 octahedra and corners with four equivalent V(1)O4 tetrahedra. The corner-sharing octahedral tilt angles range from 76-81°. Cd(1) is bonded to two equivalent O(1), two equivalent O(2), and two equivalent O(3) atoms to form CdO6 octahedra that share corners with six equivalent V(1)O4 tetrahedra, corners with six equivalent Ag(1)O4 tetrahedra, and edges with two equivalent Cd(1)O6 octahedra. There are three inequivalent O sites. In the first O site, O(1) is bonded to one V(1), one Ag(1), and two equivalent Cd(1) atoms to form a mixture of distorted corner and edge-sharing OVCd2Ag trigonal pyramids. In the second O site, O(2) is bonded to one V(1), one Ag(1), and two equivalent Cd(1) atoms to form a mixture of distorted corner and edge-sharing OVCd2Ag tetrahedra. In the third O site, O(3) is bonded in a distorted trigonal planar geometry to one V(1), one Ag(1), and one Cd(1) atom.
