Li2VCoO5 crystallizes in the tetragonal P4/nmm space group. Li(1) is bonded in a 6-coordinate geometry to two equivalent O(2) and four equivalent O(1) atoms. V(1) is bonded in a 5-coordinate geometry to one O(2) and four equivalent O(1) atoms. Co(1) is bonded in a tetrahedral geometry to four equivalent O(1) atoms. There are two inequivalent O sites. In the first O site, O(1) is bonded to two equivalent Li(1), one V(1), and one Co(1) atom to form a mixture of edge and corner-sharing OLi2VCo tetrahedra. In the second O site, O(2) is bonded in a single-bond geometry to four equivalent Li(1) and one V(1) atom.
