YCoO3 is Orthorhombic Perovskite structured and crystallizes in the orthorhombic Pnma space group. Y(1) is bonded in a 8-coordinate geometry to two equivalent O(2) and six equivalent O(1) atoms. Co(1) is bonded to two equivalent O(2) and four equivalent O(1) atoms to form corner-sharing CoO6 octahedra. The corner-sharing octahedral tilt angles are 32°. There are two inequivalent O sites. In the first O site, O(1) is bonded in a 5-coordinate geometry to three equivalent Y(1) and two equivalent Co(1) atoms. In the second O site, O(2) is bonded to two equivalent Y(1) and two equivalent Co(1) atoms to form distorted corner-sharing OY2Co2 tetrahedra.
YCoO3 is Orthorhombic Perovskite structured and crystallizes in the orthorhombic Pnma space group. Y(1) is bonded in a 8-coordinate geometry to two equivalent O(2) and six equivalent O(1) atoms. There is one shorter (2.23 Å) and one longer (2.27 Å) Y(1)-O(2) bond length. There are a spread of Y(1)-O(1) bond distances ranging from 2.27-2.56 Å. Co(1) is bonded to two equivalent O(2) and four equivalent O(1) atoms to form corner-sharing CoO6 octahedra. The corner-sharing octahedral tilt angles are 32°. Both Co(1)-O(2) bond lengths are 1.91 Å. There are two shorter (1.94 Å) and two longer (1.95 Å) Co(1)-O(1) bond lengths. There are two inequivalent O sites. In the first O site, O(1) is bonded in a 5-coordinate geometry to three equivalent Y(1) and two equivalent Co(1) atoms. In the second O site, O(2) is bonded to two equivalent Y(1) and two equivalent Co(1) atoms to form distorted corner-sharing OY2Co2 tetrahedra.
