BaV2CdO7 crystallizes in the orthorhombic Pnma space group. Ba(1) is bonded in a 10-coordinate geometry to one O(1), two equivalent O(2), three equivalent O(5), and four equivalent O(4) atoms. There are two inequivalent V sites. In the first V site, V(1) is bonded to one O(1), one O(3), and two equivalent O(2) atoms to form corner-sharing VO4 tetrahedra. In the second V site, V(2) is bonded to one O(3), one O(5), and two equivalent O(4) atoms to form corner-sharing VO4 tetrahedra. Cd(1) is bonded in a 6-coordinate geometry to two equivalent O(4) and four equivalent O(2) atoms. There are five inequivalent O sites. In the first O site, O(4) is bonded in a 4-coordinate geometry to two equivalent Ba(1), one V(2), and one Cd(1) atom. In the second O site, O(5) is bonded in a distorted single-bond geometry to three equivalent Ba(1) and one V(2) atom. In the third O site, O(1) is bonded in a distorted linear geometry to one Ba(1) and one V(1) atom. In the fourth O site, O(2) is bonded to one Ba(1), one V(1), and two equivalent Cd(1) atoms to form a mixture of distorted corner and edge-sharing OBaVCd2 tetrahedra. In the fifth O site, O(3) is bonded in a bent 120 degrees geometry to one V(1) and one V(2) atom.
BaV2CdO7 crystallizes in the orthorhombic Pnma space group. Ba(1) is bonded in a 10-coordinate geometry to one O(1), two equivalent O(2), three equivalent O(5), and four equivalent O(4) atoms. The Ba(1)-O(1) bond length is 2.71 Å. Both Ba(1)-O(2) bond lengths are 2.87 Å. There is one shorter (2.89 Å) and two longer (3.21 Å) Ba(1)-O(5) bond lengths. There are two shorter (2.85 Å) and two longer (3.12 Å) Ba(1)-O(4) bond lengths. There are two inequivalent V sites. In the first V site, V(1) is bonded to one O(1), one O(3), and two equivalent O(2) atoms to form corner-sharing VO4 tetrahedra. The V(1)-O(1) bond length is 1.68 Å.
