The structure described by V2CoS4 crystallizes in the monoclinic C2/m space group. V(1) is bonded to three equivalent S(1) and three equivalent S(2) atoms to form distorted VS6 octahedra that share corners with six equivalent Co(1)S6 octahedra, edges with six equivalent V(1)S6 octahedra, and  a faceface with one Co(1)S6 octahedra. The corner-sharing octahedral tilt angles range from 52-55°. Co(1) is bonded to two equivalent S(2) and four equivalent S(1) atoms to form CoS6 octahedra that share corners with twelve equivalent V(1)S6 octahedra, edges with two equivalent Co(1)S6 octahedra, and faces with two equivalent V(1)S6 octahedra. The corner-sharing octahedral tilt angles range from 52-55°. There are two inequivalent S sites. In the first S site, S(2) is bonded in a 4-coordinate geometry to three equivalent V(1) and one Co(1) atom. In the second S site, S(1) is bonded in a 5-coordinate geometry to three equivalent V(1) and two equivalent Co(1) atoms. is represented by the CIF file [CIF]
