V+3.50+ is bonded to six O2- atoms to form VO6 octahedra that share corners with two equivalent VO6 octahedra, corners with four equivalent CrO6 octahedra, faces with three SmO12 cuboctahedra, and faces with five LaO12 cuboctahedra. The corner-sharing octahedra tilt angles range from 0–2°. There are a spread of V–O bond distances ranging from 1.95–1.98 Å. There are two inequivalent Cr+2.83+ sites. In the first Cr+2.83+ site, Cr+2.83+ is bonded to six O2- atoms to form CrO6 octahedra that share corners with two equivalent VO6 octahedra, corners with four CrO6 octahedra, faces with three SmO12 cuboctahedra, and faces with five LaO12 cuboctahedra. The corner-sharing octahedra tilt angles range from 0–2°. There are a spread of Cr–O bond distances ranging from 1.94–1.97 Å. In the second Cr+2.83+ site, Cr+2.83+ is bonded to six O2- atoms to form CrO6 octahedra that share corners with six CrO6 octahedra, faces with three SmO12 cuboctahedra, and faces with five LaO12 cuboctahedra. The corner-sharing octahedra tilt angles range from 0–1°. There are a spread of Cr–O bond distances ranging from 1.95–1.97 Å. There are ten inequivalent O2- sites.
