LiCoSiO4 crystallizes in the tetragonal I-4 space group. Li(1) is bonded to four equivalent O(1) atoms to form distorted LiO4 tetrahedra that share corners with four equivalent Co(1)O4 tetrahedra and corners with four equivalent Si(1)O4 tetrahedra. Co(1) is bonded to four equivalent O(1) atoms to form CoO4 tetrahedra that share corners with four equivalent Li(1)O4 tetrahedra and corners with four equivalent Si(1)O4 tetrahedra. Si(1) is bonded to four equivalent O(1) atoms to form SiO4 tetrahedra that share corners with four equivalent Li(1)O4 tetrahedra and corners with four equivalent Co(1)O4 tetrahedra. O(1) is bonded in a trigonal planar geometry to one Li(1), one Co(1), and one Si(1) atom.
