CoMoO4 is Hydrophilite-derived structured and crystallizes in the monoclinic P2/c space group. Mo(1) is bonded to two equivalent O(1) and four equivalent O(2) atoms to form distorted MoO6 octahedra that share corners with eight equivalent Co(1)O6 octahedra and edges with two equivalent Mo(1)O6 octahedra. The corner-sharing octahedral tilt angles range from 48-57°. Co(1) is bonded to two equivalent O(2) and four equivalent O(1) atoms to form CoO6 octahedra that share corners with eight equivalent Mo(1)O6 octahedra and edges with two equivalent Co(1)O6 octahedra. The corner-sharing octahedral tilt angles range from 48-57°. There are two inequivalent O sites. In the first O site, O(2) is bonded in a trigonal planar geometry to two equivalent Mo(1) and one Co(1) atom. In the second O site, O(1) is bonded in a distorted trigonal planar geometry to one Mo(1) and two equivalent Co(1) atoms.

The corner-sharing octahedral tilt angles range from 48-57°. Both Mo(1)-O(1) bond lengths are 1.79 Å. There are two shorter (1.90 Å) and two longer (2.15 Å) Mo(1)-O(2) bond lengths. Co(1) is bonded to two equivalent O(2) and four equivalent O(1) atoms to form CoO6 octahedra that share corners with eight equivalent Mo(1)O6 octahedra and edges with two equivalent Co(1)O6 octahedra. The corner-sharing octahedral tilt angles range from 48-57°. Both Co(1)-O(2) bond lengths are 2.00 Å. There are two shorter (2.05 Å) and two longer (2.10 Å) Co(1)-O(1) bond lengths. There are two inequivalent O sites. In the first O site, O(2) is bonded in a trigonal planar geometry to two equivalent Mo(1) and one Co(1) atom. In the second O site, O(1) is bonded in a distorted trigonal planar geometry to one Mo(1) and two equivalent Co(1) atoms.
