CoWO4 is Hydrophilite-derived structured and crystallizes in the monoclinic Pc space group. W(1) is bonded to one O(1), one O(2), two equivalent O(3), and two equivalent O(4) atoms to form distorted WO6 octahedra that share corners with eight equivalent Co(1)O6 octahedra and edges with two equivalent W(1)O6 octahedra. The corner-sharing octahedral tilt angles range from 46-55°. Co(1) is bonded to one O(3), one O(4), two equivalent O(1), and two equivalent O(2) atoms to form CoO6 octahedra that share corners with eight equivalent W(1)O6 octahedra and edges with two equivalent Co(1)O6 octahedra. The corner-sharing octahedral tilt angles range from 46-55°. There are four inequivalent O sites. In the first O site, O(1) is bonded in a distorted trigonal planar geometry to one W(1) and two equivalent Co(1) atoms. In the second O site, O(2) is bonded in a distorted trigonal planar geometry to one W(1) and two equivalent Co(1) atoms. In the third O site, O(3) is bonded in a trigonal planar geometry to two equivalent W(1) and one Co(1) atom. In the fourth O site, O(4) is bonded in a trigonal planar geometry to two equivalent W(1) and one Co(1) atom.
