We studied the magnetic and structural properties of spinel MnV{sub 2}O{sub 4}, which has S=5/2 spin with no orbital degrees of freedom on the Mn{sup 2+} site and S=1 spin and three orbital degrees of freedom on the V{sup 3+} site. We found that the ferrimagnetic ordering at T{sub N}=56.5 K and the structural phase transition at T{sub s}=53.5 K are closely correlated in this compound and found a switching of crystal structure between cubic and tetragonal phases by the magnetic field. This phenomenon can be explained by the coupling between orbital and spin degrees of freedom in the t{sub 2g} states of the V site.
