The crystal structure described by CeVO4 crystallizes in the monoclinic P2_1/c space group. Ce(1) is bonded in a 7-coordinate geometry to one O(1), one O(3), two equivalent O(4), and three equivalent O(2) atoms. V(1) is bonded in a 5-coordinate geometry to one O(1), one O(2), one O(4), and two equivalent O(3) atoms. There are four inequivalent O sites. In the first O site, O(1) is bonded in a 2-coordinate geometry to one Ce(1) and one V(1) atom. In the second O site, O(2) is bonded to three equivalent Ce(1) and one V(1) atom to form a mixture of edge and corner-sharing OCe3V tetrahedra. In the third O site, O(3) is bonded in a 3-coordinate geometry to one Ce(1) and two equivalent V(1) atoms. In the fourth O site, O(4) is bonded in a trigonal non-coplanar geometry to two equivalent Ce(1) and one V(1) atom. is represented by the Crystallographic Information File (CIF) [CIF]
