LiCo(CO3)2 is Calcite-derived structured and crystallizes in the triclinic P-1 space group. Li(1) is bonded to two equivalent O(1), two equivalent O(2), and two equivalent O(3) atoms to form LiO6 octahedra that share corners with six equivalent Co(1)O6 octahedra. The corner-sharing octahedral tilt angles range from 58-59°. Co(1) is bonded to two equivalent O(1), two equivalent O(2), and two equivalent O(3) atoms to form CoO6 octahedra that share corners with six equivalent Li(1)O6 octahedra. The corner-sharing octahedral tilt angles range from 58-59°. C(1) is bonded in a trigonal planar geometry to one O(1), one O(2), and one O(3) atom. There are three inequivalent O sites. In the first O site, O(1) is bonded in a trigonal planar geometry to one Li(1), one Co(1), and one C(1) atom. In the second O site, O(2) is bonded in a trigonal planar geometry to one Li(1), one Co(1), and one C(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 C(1) atom.
