The structure described by VCdO3Cl crystallizes in the orthorhombic Pnma space group. V(1) is bonded in a 5-coordinate geometry to one O(1), one O(2), and three equivalent O(3) atoms. Cd(1) is bonded to one O(2), two equivalent O(1), and three equivalent Cl(1) atoms to form a mixture of corner and edge-sharing CdCl3O3 octahedra. The corner-sharing octahedral tilt angles are 56°. There are three 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 Cd(1) atoms. In the second O site, O(2) is bonded in a distorted linear geometry to one V(1) and one Cd(1) atom. In the third O site, O(3) is bonded in a distorted trigonal non-coplanar geometry to three equivalent V(1) atoms. Cl(1) is bonded in a distorted trigonal planar geometry to three equivalent Cd(1) atoms. is represented by the CIF file [CIF]
