LaCoO3 is Orthorhombic Perovskite structured and crystallizes in the orthorhombic Pnma space group. La(1) is bonded in a 12-coordinate geometry to four equivalent O(2) and eight 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 20-24°. There are two inequivalent O sites. In the first O site, O(1) is bonded in a 4-coordinate geometry to four equivalent La(1) and two equivalent Co(1) atoms. In the second O site, O(2) is bonded in a 3-coordinate geometry to four equivalent La(1) and two equivalent Co(1) atoms.
LaCoO3 is Orthorhombic Perovskite structured and crystallizes in the orthorhombic Pnma space group. La(1) is bonded in a 12-coordinate geometry to four equivalent O(2) and eight equivalent O(1) atoms. There are a spread of La(1)-O(2) bond distances ranging from 2.40-3.15 Å. There are a spread of La(1)-O(1) bond distances ranging from 2.49-3.09 Å. 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 20-24°. Both Co(1)-O(2) bond lengths are 1.99 Å. There are two shorter (1.94 Å) and two longer (2.01 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 four equivalent La(1) and two equivalent Co(1) atoms. In the second O site, O(2) is bonded in a 3-coordinate geometry to four equivalent La(1) and two equivalent Co(1) atoms.
