The material structure described by NaCoF3 crystallizes in the orthorhombic Cmcm space group. Na(1) is bonded in a 8-coordinate geometry to two equivalent F(1) and six equivalent F(2) atoms. Co(1) is bonded to two equivalent F(1) and four equivalent F(2) atoms to form a mixture of corner and edge-sharing CoF6 octahedra. The corner-sharing octahedral tilt angles are 45°. There are two inequivalent F sites. In the first F site, F(1) is bonded to two equivalent Na(1) and two equivalent Co(1) atoms to form distorted FNa2Co2 tetrahedra that share corners with four equivalent F(1)Na2Co2 tetrahedra, corners with eight equivalent F(2)Na3Co2 trigonal bipyramids, and edges with six equivalent F(2)Na3Co2 trigonal bipyramids. In the second F site, F(2) is bonded to three equivalent Na(1) and two equivalent Co(1) atoms to form distorted FNa3Co2 trigonal bipyramids that share corners with four equivalent F(1)Na2Co2 tetrahedra, corners with nine equivalent F(2)Na3Co2 trigonal bipyramids, edges with three equivalent F(1)Na2Co2 tetrahedra, and edges with six equivalent F(2)Na3Co2 trigonal bipyramids. is represented by the CIF card [CIF]
