VGeO4 is Rutile-derived structured and crystallizes in the orthorhombic Pbcn space group. V(1) is bonded to two equivalent O(1) and four equivalent O(2) atoms to form VO6 octahedra that share corners with six equivalent Ge(1)O6 octahedra,  an edgeedge with one Ge(1)O6 octahedra, and edges with two equivalent V(1)O6 octahedra. The corner-sharing octahedral tilt angles range from 47-52°. Ge(1) is bonded to two equivalent O(2) and four equivalent O(1) atoms to form GeO6 octahedra that share corners with four equivalent Ge(1)O6 octahedra, corners with six equivalent V(1)O6 octahedra, and  an edgeedge with one V(1)O6 octahedra. The corner-sharing octahedral tilt angles range from 47-52°. 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 Ge(1) atoms. In the second O site, O(2) is bonded in a distorted T-shaped geometry to two equivalent V(1) and one Ge(1) atom.
