The material structure described by Na6Co(SO4)4 crystallizes in the monoclinic P2_1/c space group. There are three inequivalent Na sites. In the first Na site, Na(1) is bonded to one O(4), one O(6), one O(8), and two equivalent O(3) atoms to form distorted NaO5 square pyramids that share corners with two equivalent Na(2)O6 octahedra,  a cornercorner with one S(1)O4 tetrahedra, corners with two equivalent S(2)O4 tetrahedra,  an edgeedge with one Na(2)O6 octahedra,  an edgeedge with one Na(1)O5 square pyramid, and  an edgeedge with one S(2)O4 tetrahedra. The corner-sharing octahedral tilt angles range from 63-75°. In the second Na site, Na(2) is bonded to one O(2), one O(4), one O(7), one O(8), and two equivalent O(6) atoms to form NaO6 octahedra that share  a cornercorner with one Co(1)O6 octahedra, corners with two equivalent Na(1)O5 square pyramids, corners with two equivalent S(1)O4 tetrahedra, corners with two equivalent S(2)O4 tetrahedra,  an edgeedge with one Na(2)O6 octahedra,  an edgeedge with one Na(1)O5 square pyramid, and  an edgeedge with one S(2)O4 tetrahedra. The corner-sharing octahedral tilt angles are 65°. In the third Na site, Na(3) is bonded in a 7-coordinate geometry to one O(1), one O(3), one O(5), one O(7), one O(8), and two equivalent O(2) atoms.

The corner-sharing octahedral tilt angles are 65°. There are two inequivalent S sites. In the first S site, S(1) is bonded to one O(1), one O(2), one O(4), and one O(5) atom to form SO4 tetrahedra that share corners with two equivalent Na(2)O6 octahedra, corners with two equivalent Co(1)O6 octahedra, and  a cornercorner with one Na(1)O5 square pyramid. The corner-sharing octahedral tilt angles range from 9-62°. In the second S site, S(2) is bonded to one O(3), one O(6), one O(7), and one O(8) atom to form SO4 tetrahedra that share  a cornercorner with one Co(1)O6 octahedra, corners with two equivalent Na(2)O6 octahedra, corners with two equivalent Na(1)O5 square pyramids,  an edgeedge with one Na(2)O6 octahedra, and  an edgeedge with one Na(1)O5 square pyramid.
