The structure described by Co2(SO4)3 crystallizes in the trigonal R-3c space group. Co(1) is bonded to three equivalent O(1) and three equivalent O(2) atoms to form CoO6 octahedra that share corners with six equivalent S(1)O4 tetrahedra. S(1) is bonded to two equivalent O(1) and two equivalent O(2) atoms to form SO4 tetrahedra that share corners with four equivalent Co(1)O6 octahedra. The corner-sharing octahedral tilt angles range from 23-39°. There are two inequivalent O sites. In the first O site, O(2) is bonded in a bent 150 degrees geometry to one Co(1) and one S(1) atom. In the second O site, O(1) is bonded in a bent 150 degrees geometry to one Co(1) and one S(1) atom. is represented by the Crystallographic Information File (CIF) [CIF]
