The material described by CaCo(GeO3)4 crystallizes in the orthorhombic Amm2 space group. Ca(1) is bonded in a 10-coordinate geometry to two equivalent O(2), four equivalent O(1), and four equivalent O(4) atoms. Co(1) is bonded in a 6-coordinate geometry to two equivalent O(2), two equivalent O(3), and two equivalent O(5) atoms. Ge(1) is bonded to one O(2), one O(3), one O(4), one O(5), and two equivalent O(1) atoms to form distorted corner-sharing GeO6 octahedra. The corner-sharing octahedral tilt angles range from 8-46°. There are five inequivalent O sites. In the first O site, O(1) is bonded in a distorted trigonal non-coplanar geometry to one Ca(1) and two equivalent Ge(1) atoms. In the second O site, O(2) is bonded in a distorted square co-planar geometry to one Ca(1), one Co(1), and two equivalent Ge(1) atoms. In the third O site, O(3) is bonded in a trigonal planar geometry to one Co(1) and two equivalent Ge(1) atoms. In the fourth O site, O(4) is bonded in a distorted linear geometry to two equivalent Ca(1) and two equivalent Ge(1) atoms. In the fifth O site, O(5) is bonded in a distorted trigonal planar geometry to one Co(1) and two equivalent Ge(1) atoms. is represented by the CIF file [CIF]
