CoSO8 is Indium-like structured and crystallizes in the monoclinic P2_1/c space group. The structure is zero-dimensional and consists of two CoSO8 clusters. Co(1) is bonded to one O(1), one O(2), one O(4), one O(5), one O(7), and one O(8) atom to form CoO6 octahedra that share corners with two equivalent S(1)O4 tetrahedra. S(1) is bonded to one O(3), one O(6), one O(7), and one O(8) atom to form SO4 tetrahedra that share corners with two equivalent Co(1)O6 octahedra. The corner-sharing octahedral tilt angles range from 50-53°. There are eight inequivalent O sites. In the first O site, O(7) is bonded in a bent 120 degrees geometry to one Co(1) and one S(1) atom. In the second O site, O(8) is bonded in a bent 120 degrees geometry to one Co(1) and one S(1) atom. In the third O site, O(1) is bonded in a single-bond geometry to one Co(1) atom. In the fourth O site, O(2) is bonded in a single-bond geometry to one Co(1) atom. In the fifth O site, O(3) is bonded in a single-bond geometry to one S(1) atom. In the sixth O site, O(4) is bonded in a single-bond geometry to one Co(1) atom. In the seventh O site, O(5) is bonded in a single-bond geometry to one Co(1) atom. In the eighth O site, O(6) is bonded in a single-bond geometry to one S(1) atom.
