Y(CoO2)2 crystallizes in the tetragonal I4_1/a space group. Y(1) is bonded in a 8-coordinate geometry to eight equivalent O(1) atoms. Co(1) is bonded in a square co-planar geometry to four equivalent O(1) atoms. O(1) is bonded to two equivalent Y(1) and two equivalent Co(1) atoms to form a mixture of distorted edge and corner-sharing OY2Co2 tetrahedra.
Y(CoO2)2 crystallizes in the tetragonal I4_1/a space group. Y(1) is bonded in a 8-coordinate geometry to eight equivalent O(1) atoms. There are four shorter (2.36 Å) and four longer (2.42 Å) Y(1)-O(1) bond lengths. Co(1) is bonded in a square co-planar geometry to four equivalent O(1) atoms. There are two shorter (1.85 Å) and two longer (1.92 Å) Co(1)-O(1) bond lengths. O(1) is bonded to two equivalent Y(1) and two equivalent Co(1) atoms to form a mixture of distorted edge and corner-sharing OY2Co2 tetrahedra.
