LaCoO3 is Orthorhombic Perovskite-like structured and crystallizes in the monoclinic C2/c space group. La(1) is bonded in a 5-coordinate geometry to one O(2) and four equivalent O(1) atoms. Co(1) is bonded to two equivalent O(2) and four equivalent O(1) atoms to form corner-sharing CoO6 octahedra. The corner-sharing octahedral tilt angles range from 20-25°. There are two inequivalent O sites. In the first O site, O(1) is bonded in a 4-coordinate geometry to two equivalent La(1) and two equivalent Co(1) atoms. In the second O site, O(2) is bonded in a 3-coordinate geometry to one La(1) and two equivalent Co(1) atoms.
LaCoO3 is Orthorhombic Perovskite-like structured and crystallizes in the monoclinic C2/c space group. La(1) is bonded in a 5-coordinate geometry to one O(2) and four equivalent O(1) atoms. The La(1)-O(2) bond length is 2.37 Å. There are two shorter (2.51 Å) and two longer (2.53 Å) La(1)-O(1) bond lengths. Co(1) is bonded to two equivalent O(2) and four equivalent O(1) atoms to form corner-sharing CoO6 octahedra. The corner-sharing octahedral tilt angles range from 20-25°. Both Co(1)-O(2) bond lengths are 2.01 Å. There are two shorter (1.94 Å) and two longer (2.02 Å) Co(1)-O(1) bond lengths. There are two inequivalent O sites. In the first O site, O(1) is bonded in a 4-coordinate geometry to two equivalent La(1) and two equivalent Co(1) atoms. In the second O site, O(2) is bonded in a 3-coordinate geometry to one La(1) and two equivalent Co(1) atoms.
