The structure described by LiCoGeO4 crystallizes in the monoclinic Pc space group. Li(1) is bonded to one O(1), one O(2), one O(3), and one O(4) atom to form LiO4 tetrahedra that share corners with four equivalent Co(1)O4 tetrahedra and corners with four equivalent Ge(1)O4 tetrahedra. Co(1) is bonded to one O(1), one O(2), one O(3), and one O(4) atom to form CoO4 tetrahedra that share corners with four equivalent Li(1)O4 tetrahedra and corners with four equivalent Ge(1)O4 tetrahedra. Ge(1) is bonded to one O(1), one O(2), one O(3), and one O(4) atom to form GeO4 tetrahedra that share corners with four equivalent Li(1)O4 tetrahedra and corners with four equivalent Co(1)O4 tetrahedra. There are four inequivalent O sites. In the first O site, O(1) is bonded in a trigonal planar geometry to one Li(1), one Co(1), and one Ge(1) atom. In the second O site, O(2) is bonded in a trigonal non-coplanar geometry to one Li(1), one Co(1), and one Ge(1) atom. In the third O site, O(3) is bonded in a trigonal planar geometry to one Li(1), one Co(1), and one Ge(1) atom. In the fourth O site, O(4) is bonded in a trigonal non-coplanar geometry to one Li(1), one Co(1), and one Ge(1) atom. is represented by the CIF card [CIF]
