CoVO4 crystallizes in the orthorhombic Imma space group. V(1) is bonded to two equivalent O(1) and two equivalent O(2) atoms to form VO4 tetrahedra that share corners with six equivalent Co(1)O6 octahedra. The corner-sharing octahedral tilt angles range from 49-56°. Co(1) is bonded to two equivalent O(1) and four equivalent O(2) atoms to form CoO6 octahedra that share corners with six equivalent V(1)O4 tetrahedra and edges with two equivalent Co(1)O6 octahedra. There are two inequivalent O sites. In the first O site, O(1) is bonded in a bent 120 degrees geometry to one V(1) and one Co(1) atom. In the second O site, O(2) is bonded in a trigonal planar geometry to one V(1) and two equivalent Co(1) atoms.
CoVO4 crystallizes in the orthorhombic Imma space group. V(1) is bonded to two equivalent O(1) and two equivalent O(2) atoms to form VO4 tetrahedra that share corners with six equivalent Co(1)O6 octahedra. The corner-sharing octahedral tilt angles range from 49-56°. Both V(1)-O(1) bond lengths are 1.69 Å. Both V(1)-O(2) bond lengths are 1.85 Å. Co(1) is bonded to two equivalent O(1) and four equivalent O(2) atoms to form CoO6 octahedra that share corners with six equivalent V(1)O4 tetrahedra and edges with two equivalent Co(1)O6 octahedra. Both Co(1)-O(1) bond lengths are 1.91 Å. All Co(1)-O(2) bond lengths are 1.94 Å. There are two inequivalent O sites. In the first O site, O(1) is bonded in a bent 120 degrees geometry to one V(1) and one Co(1) atom. In the second O site, O(2) is bonded in a trigonal planar geometry to one V(1) and two equivalent Co(1) atoms.
