description The pentacadmium bis(vanadate(V)) tetrahydroxide Cd<sub>5</sub>(VO<sub>4</sub>)<sub>2</sub>(OH)<sub>4</sub> was synthesized under hydrothermal conditions, and its crystal structure was determined with single-crystal X-ray diffraction. The investigated compound is the second known compound next to Cd(VO<sub>3</sub>)<sub>2</sub>·4H<sub>2</sub>O synthesized in the CdO–V<sub>2</sub>O<sub>5</sub>–H<sub>2</sub>O system and crystallizes isotypically to the minerals gatehouseite, Mn<sub>5</sub>(PO<sub>4</sub>)<sub>2</sub>(OH)<sub>4</sub>, and its As analog arsenoclasite, Mn<sub>5</sub>(AsO<sub>4</sub>)<sub>2</sub>(OH)<sub>4</sub>. Its symmetry is orthorhombic, with a space group of <i>P</i>2<sub>1</sub>2<sub>1</sub>2<sub>1</sub> and unit cell parameters of <i>a</i> = 19.011(4), <i>b</i> = 6.0133(12), <i>c</i> = 9.5411(19) Å, <i>V</i> = 1090.7(4) Å<sup>3</sup>, and <i>Z</i> = 4. The structure consists of double ribbons of <i>M</i>(O,OH)<sub>6</sub>-octahedra (<i>M</i> = Cd2, Cd3, Cd4) extending along [010] interconnected by edge- and corner-shared <i>M</i>(O,OH)<sub>6</sub>-octahedra (<i>M</i> = Cd1, Cd5) and discrete, slightly distorted VO<sub>4</sub> tetrahedra, which form double chains of coupled polyhedra [V1O<sub>4</sub>–Cd5O<sub>4</sub>(OH)<sub>2</sub>–Cd1O<sub>5</sub>(OH)–V2O<sub>4</sub>]<sub>n</sub> running along the same direction. The interesting feature is the existence of V–Cd distances (3.0934(7) and 3.1081(7) Å for V1–Cd5 and V2–Cd1, respectively), which are shorter than the sum of the van der Waals radii of 3.71 Å. The V1–V2 distances of 4.1214(9) Å are also shorter than the sum of the van der Waals radii of 4.26 Å. The O–H···O hydrogen bonds additionally link the two subunits, ribbons, and chains into a three-dimensional structure. Raman spectra confirmed the presence of the hydrogen bonds and mutually isolated VO<sub>4</sub> groups.
