Materials Data on CeVO4 by Materials Project

CeVO4 crystallizes in the monoclinic P2_1/c space group. The structure is three-dimensional. Ce3+ is bonded in a 9-coordinate geometry to nine O2- atoms. There are a spread of Ce–O bond distances ranging from 2.46–2.91 Å. V5+ is bonded in a tetrahedral geometry to four O2- atoms. There are a spread of V–O bond distances ranging from 1.74–1.76 Å. There are four inequivalent O2- sites. In the first O2- site, O2- is bonded in a 1-coordinate geometry to two equivalent Ce3+ and one V5+ atom. In the second O2- site, O2- is bonded in a distorted single-bond geometry to three equivalent Ce3+ and one V5+ atom. In the third O2- site, O2- is bonded in a 1-coordinate geometry to two equivalent Ce3+ and one V5+ atom. In the fourth O2- site, O2- is bonded in a 1-coordinate geometry to two equivalent Ce3+ and one V5+ atom.
