LiCo(CO3)2 crystallizes in the monoclinic C2/m space group. Li(1) is bonded in a square co-planar geometry to four equivalent O(1) atoms. Co(1) is bonded in an octahedral geometry to two equivalent O(2) and four equivalent O(1) atoms. C(1) is bonded in a trigonal planar geometry to one O(2) and two equivalent O(1) atoms. There are two inequivalent O sites. In the first O site, O(1) is bonded in a distorted 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 bent 150 degrees geometry to one Co(1) and one C(1) atom.
