The crystal structure described by VCoCdO5 crystallizes in the orthorhombic Pnma space group. V(1) is bonded to one O(2), one O(4), and two equivalent O(1) atoms to form VO4 tetrahedra that share corners with four equivalent Co(1)O6 octahedra. The corner-sharing octahedral tilt angles range from 46-58°. Co(1) is bonded to two equivalent O(1), two equivalent O(2), and two equivalent O(3) atoms to form CoO6 octahedra that share corners with four equivalent V(1)O4 tetrahedra and edges with two equivalent Co(1)O6 octahedra. Cd(1) is bonded in a 4-coordinate geometry to one O(3), one O(4), and two equivalent O(1) atoms. There are four inequivalent O sites. In the first O site, O(1) is bonded in a 3-coordinate geometry to one V(1), one Co(1), and one Cd(1) atom. In the second O site, O(2) is bonded in a 3-coordinate geometry to one V(1) and two equivalent Co(1) atoms. In the third O site, O(3) is bonded in a trigonal non-coplanar geometry to two equivalent Co(1) and one Cd(1) atom. In the fourth O site, O(4) is bonded in a water-like geometry to one V(1) and one Cd(1) atom. is represented by the CIF file [CIF]
