CoBO3 crystallizes in the monoclinic C2/c space group. Co(1) is bonded to one O(3), two equivalent O(1), and two equivalent O(2) atoms to form distorted edge-sharing CoO5 trigonal bipyramids. B(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 distorted trigonal planar geometry to two equivalent Co(1) and one B(1) atom. In the second O site, O(2) is bonded in a distorted trigonal planar geometry to two equivalent Co(1) and one B(1) atom. In the third O site, O(3) is bonded in a bent 150 degrees geometry to one Co(1) and one B(1) atom.
