Co(IO3)2 is Hydrophilite-derived structured and crystallizes in the trigonal P-31m space group. Co(1) is bonded to six equivalent O(1) atoms to form CoO6 octahedra that share corners with twelve equivalent I(1)O6 octahedra. The corner-sharing octahedral tilt angles are 52°. O(1) is bonded in a distorted trigonal planar geometry to one Co(1) and two equivalent I(1) atoms. I(1) is bonded to six equivalent O(1) atoms to form IO6 octahedra that share corners with six equivalent Co(1)O6 octahedra and edges with three equivalent I(1)O6 octahedra. The corner-sharing octahedral tilt angles are 52°.
