The material structure described by Li3Co(NO2)6 crystallizes in the trigonal R-3m space group. There are two inequivalent Li sites. In the first Li site, Li(1) is bonded in an octahedral geometry to three equivalent O(1) and three equivalent O(2) atoms. In the second Li site, Li(2) is bonded in a 6-coordinate geometry to six equivalent O(1) atoms. Co(1) is bonded in an octahedral geometry to six equivalent N(1) atoms. N(1) is bonded in a trigonal planar geometry to one Co(1), one O(1), and one O(2) atom. There are two inequivalent O sites. In the first O site, O(2) is bonded in a bent 120 degrees geometry to one Li(1) and one N(1) atom. In the second O site, O(1) is bonded in a distorted T-shaped geometry to one Li(1), one Li(2), and one N(1) atom. is represented by the Crystallographic Information File (CIF) [CIF]
