CoCrO4 crystallizes in the orthorhombic Cmcm space group. Cr(1) is bonded to two equivalent O(1) and two equivalent O(2) atoms to form CrO4 tetrahedra that share corners with six equivalent Co(1)O6 octahedra. The corner-sharing octahedral tilt angles range from 49-54°. Co(1) is bonded to two equivalent O(1) and four equivalent O(2) atoms to form CoO6 octahedra that share corners with six equivalent Cr(1)O4 tetrahedra and edges with two equivalent Co(1)O6 octahedra. There are two inequivalent O sites. In the first O site, O(1) is bonded in a bent 120 degrees geometry to one Cr(1) and one Co(1) atom. In the second O site, O(2) is bonded in a distorted trigonal planar geometry to one Cr(1) and two equivalent Co(1) atoms.
CoCrO4 crystallizes in the orthorhombic Cmcm space group. Cr(1) is bonded to two equivalent O(1) and two equivalent O(2) atoms to form CrO4 tetrahedra that share corners with six equivalent Co(1)O6 octahedra. The corner-sharing octahedral tilt angles range from 49-54°. Both Cr(1)-O(1) bond lengths are 1.64 Å. Both Cr(1)-O(2) bond lengths are 1.74 Å. Co(1) is bonded to two equivalent O(1) and four equivalent O(2) atoms to form CoO6 octahedra that share corners with six equivalent Cr(1)O4 tetrahedra and edges with two equivalent Co(1)O6 octahedra. Both Co(1)-O(1) bond lengths are 1.89 Å. All Co(1)-O(2) bond lengths are 1.95 Å. There are two inequivalent O sites. In the first O site, O(1) is bonded in a bent 120 degrees geometry to one Cr(1) and one Co(1) atom. In the second O site, O(2) is bonded in a distorted trigonal planar geometry to one Cr(1) and two equivalent Co(1) atoms.
