LiCoO2 is Caswellsilverite-like structured and crystallizes in the hexagonal P6_3mc space group. Li(1) is bonded to three equivalent O(1) and three equivalent O(2) atoms to form LiO6 octahedra that share corners with nine equivalent Co(1)O6 octahedra, edges with three equivalent Co(1)O6 octahedra, edges with six equivalent Li(1)O6 octahedra, and  a faceface with one Co(1)O6 octahedra. The corner-sharing octahedral tilt angles range from 3-48°. Co(1) is bonded to three equivalent O(1) and three equivalent O(2) atoms to form CoO6 octahedra that share corners with nine equivalent Li(1)O6 octahedra, edges with three equivalent Li(1)O6 octahedra, edges with six equivalent Co(1)O6 octahedra, and  a faceface with one Li(1)O6 octahedra. The corner-sharing octahedral tilt angles range from 3-48°. There are two inequivalent O sites. In the first O site, O(1) is bonded to three equivalent Li(1) and three equivalent Co(1) atoms to form a mixture of corner and edge-sharing OLi3Co3 octahedra. In the second O site, O(2) is bonded to three equivalent Li(1) and three equivalent Co(1) atoms to form a mixture of distorted corner and edge-sharing OLi3Co3 pentagonal pyramids. The corner-sharing octahedral tilt angles range from 0-3°.
