The crystal structure described by Mo4CoO15 crystallizes in the triclinic P-1 space group. There are two inequivalent Mo sites. In the first Mo site, Mo(1) is bonded to one O(1), one O(2), one O(3), one O(4), one O(5), and one O(6) atom to form distorted MoO6 octahedra that share  a cornercorner with one Mo(1)O6 octahedra, corners with two equivalent Mo(2)O6 octahedra, corners with two equivalent Co(1)O6 octahedra, and  an edgeedge with one Mo(2)O6 octahedra. The corner-sharing octahedral tilt angles range from 0-26°. In the second Mo site, Mo(2) is bonded to one O(4), one O(6), one O(7), one O(8), and two equivalent O(5) atoms to form distorted MoO6 octahedra that share  a cornercorner with one Co(1)O6 octahedra, corners with two equivalent Mo(1)O6 octahedra,  an edgeedge with one Mo(1)O6 octahedra, and  an edgeedge with one Mo(2)O6 octahedra. The corner-sharing octahedral tilt angles range from 4-26°. Co(1) is bonded to two equivalent O(1), two equivalent O(2), and two equivalent O(7) atoms to form CoO6 octahedra that share corners with two equivalent Mo(2)O6 octahedra and corners with four equivalent Mo(1)O6 octahedra. The corner-sharing octahedral tilt angles range from 5-10°. There are eight inequivalent O sites. In the first O site, O(1) is bonded in a linear geometry to one Mo(1) and one Co(1) atom. In the second O site, O(2) is bonded in a linear geometry to one Mo(1) and one Co(1) atom. In the third O site, O(3) is bonded in a linear geometry to two equivalent Mo(1) atoms. In the fourth O site, O(4) is bonded in a bent 120 degrees geometry to one Mo(1) and one Mo(2) atom. In the fifth O site, O(5) is bonded in a distorted T-shaped geometry to one Mo(1) and two equivalent Mo(2) atoms. In the sixth O site, O(6) is bonded in a linear geometry to one Mo(1) and one Mo(2) atom. In the seventh O site, O(7) is bonded in a linear geometry to one Mo(2) and one Co(1) atom. In the eighth O site, O(8) is bonded in a single-bond geometry to one Mo(2) atom. is represented by the CIF card [CIF]
