The crystal structure described by CoPO4 crystallizes in the trigonal P31c space group. Co(1) is bonded to one O(1), one O(2), one O(3), one O(4), and one O(5) atom to form distorted CoO5 trigonal bipyramids that share  a cornercorner with one P(3)O4 tetrahedra, corners with two equivalent P(1)O4 tetrahedra, corners with two equivalent P(2)O4 tetrahedra, and edges with two equivalent Co(1)O5 trigonal bipyramids. There are three inequivalent P sites. In the first P site, P(1) is bonded to one O(5) and three equivalent O(4) atoms to form PO4 tetrahedra that share corners with six equivalent Co(1)O5 trigonal bipyramids. In the second P site, P(2) is bonded to one O(3) and three equivalent O(2) atoms to form PO4 tetrahedra that share corners with six equivalent Co(1)O5 trigonal bipyramids. In the third P site, P(3) is bonded to one O(6) and three equivalent O(1) atoms to form PO4 tetrahedra that share corners with three equivalent Co(1)O5 trigonal bipyramids. There are six inequivalent O sites. In the first O site, O(1) is bonded in a distorted bent 150 degrees geometry to one Co(1) and one P(3) atom. In the second O site, O(2) is bonded in a distorted bent 150 degrees geometry to one Co(1) and one P(2) atom. In the third O site, O(3) is bonded in a rectangular see-saw-like geometry to three equivalent Co(1) and one P(2) atom. In the fourth O site, O(4) is bonded in a bent 150 degrees geometry to one Co(1) and one P(1) atom. In the fifth O site, O(5) is bonded in a 4-coordinate geometry to three equivalent Co(1) and one P(1) atom. In the sixth O site, O(6) is bonded in a single-bond geometry to one P(3) atom. is represented by the CIF file [CIF]
