The compound described by CuCO3 crystallizes in the monoclinic Cm space group. Cu(1) is bonded to one O(2) and four equivalent O(1) atoms to form edge-sharing CuO5 square pyramids. C(1) is bonded in a trigonal planar geometry to one O(2) and two equivalent O(1) atoms. There are two inequivalent O sites. In the first O site, O(1) is bonded in a distorted trigonal non-coplanar geometry to two equivalent Cu(1) and one C(1) atom. In the second O site, O(2) is bonded in a distorted bent 150 degrees geometry to one Cu(1) and one C(1) atom. is represented by the CIF file [CIF]
