The structure described by VMoO5 crystallizes in the monoclinic Cm space group. V(1) is bonded to one O(1), one O(3), one O(4), one O(5), and two equivalent O(2) atoms to form distorted corner-sharing VO6 octahedra. The corner-sharing octahedral tilt angles are 35°. Mo(1) is bonded in a 6-coordinate geometry to one O(1), one O(2), one O(3), one O(4), and two equivalent O(5) atoms. There are five inequivalent O sites. In the first O site, O(1) is bonded in a distorted single-bond geometry to one V(1) and one Mo(1) atom. In the second O site, O(2) is bonded in a distorted trigonal non-coplanar geometry to two equivalent V(1) and one Mo(1) atom. In the third O site, O(3) is bonded in a linear geometry to one V(1) and one Mo(1) atom. In the fourth O site, O(4) is bonded in a water-like geometry to one V(1) and one Mo(1) atom. In the fifth O site, O(5) is bonded in a distorted T-shaped geometry to one V(1) and two equivalent Mo(1) atoms. is represented by the Crystallographic Information File (CIF) [CIF]
