CoF3 is alpha Rhenium trioxide structured and crystallizes in the monoclinic C2/m space group. Co(1,2) is bonded to two equivalent F(1), two equivalent F(3), and two equivalent F(4) atoms to form corner-sharing CoF6 octahedra. The corner-sharing octahedral tilt angles range from 0-1°. There are four inequivalent F sites. In the first F site, F(1) is bonded in a linear geometry to two equivalent Co(1,2) atoms. In the second F site, F(2) is bonded in a linear geometry to two equivalent Co(1,2) atoms. In the third F site, F(3) is bonded in a linear geometry to two equivalent Co(1,2) atoms. In the fourth F site, F(4) is bonded in a linear geometry to two equivalent Co(1,2) atoms.
