LiV3CoO10 crystallizes in the monoclinic C2 space group. Li(1) is bonded to two equivalent O(2), two equivalent O(3), and two equivalent O(4) atoms to form distorted LiO6 octahedra that share corners with two equivalent V(1)O4 tetrahedra, corners with two equivalent Co(1)O4 tetrahedra, corners with two equivalent V(2)O5 trigonal bipyramids, and edges with two equivalent V(2)O5 trigonal bipyramids. There are two inequivalent V sites. In the first V site, V(1) is bonded to two equivalent O(1) and two equivalent O(3) atoms to form VO4 tetrahedra that share corners with two equivalent Li(1)O6 octahedra and corners with four equivalent V(2)O5 trigonal bipyramids.
