LiCoPO4 crystallizes in the monoclinic Cc space group. Li(1) is bonded in a trigonal planar geometry to one O(1), one O(3), and one O(4) atom. Co(1) is bonded to one O(1), one O(2), one O(3), and one O(4) atom to form CoO4 tetrahedra that share corners with four equivalent P(1)O4 tetrahedra. P(1) is bonded to one O(1), one O(2), one O(3), and one O(4) atom to form PO4 tetrahedra that share corners with four equivalent Co(1)O4 tetrahedra. There are four inequivalent O sites. In the first O site, O(1) is bonded in a distorted trigonal planar geometry to one Li(1), one Co(1), and one P(1) atom. In the second O site, O(2) is bonded in a linear geometry to one Co(1) and one P(1) atom. In the third O site, O(3) is bonded in a trigonal planar geometry to one Li(1), one Co(1), and one P(1) atom. In the fourth O site, O(4) is bonded in a trigonal planar geometry to one Li(1), one Co(1), and one P(1) atom.
