LaCoO3 is (Cubic) Perovskite structured and crystallizes in the cubic Pm-3m space group. La(1) is bonded to twelve equivalent O(1) atoms to form LaO12 cuboctahedra that share corners with twelve equivalent La(1)O12 cuboctahedra, faces with six equivalent La(1)O12 cuboctahedra, and faces with eight equivalent Co(1)O6 octahedra. Co(1) is bonded to six equivalent O(1) atoms to form CoO6 octahedra that share corners with six equivalent Co(1)O6 octahedra and faces with eight equivalent La(1)O12 cuboctahedra. The corner-sharing octahedra are not tilted. O(1) is bonded to four equivalent La(1) and two equivalent Co(1) atoms to form a mixture of distorted edge, face, and corner-sharing OLa4Co2 octahedra. The corner-sharing octahedral tilt angles range from 0-60°.
