The structure described by Li2Co(CO3)2 crystallizes in the monoclinic Cc space group. There are two inequivalent Li sites. In the first Li site, Li(1) is bonded in a distorted see-saw-like geometry to one O(1), one O(2), one O(4), and one O(6) atom. In the second Li site, Li(2) is bonded in a distorted see-saw-like geometry to one O(1), one O(3), one O(4), and one O(5) atom. Co(1) is bonded in a rectangular see-saw-like geometry to one O(2), one O(3), one O(5), and one O(6) atom. There are two inequivalent C sites. In the first C site, C(1) is bonded in a trigonal planar geometry to one O(1), one O(2), and one O(3) atom. In the second C site, C(2) is bonded in a trigonal planar geometry to one O(4), one O(5), and one O(6) atom. There are six inequivalent O sites. In the first O site, O(1) is bonded in a trigonal non-coplanar geometry to one Li(1), one Li(2), and one C(1) atom. In the second O site, O(2) is bonded in a trigonal planar geometry to one Li(1), one Co(1), and one C(1) atom. In the third O site, O(3) is bonded in a distorted trigonal planar geometry to one Li(2), one Co(1), and one C(1) atom. In the fourth O site, O(4) is bonded in a trigonal non-coplanar geometry to one Li(1), one Li(2), and one C(2) atom. In the fifth O site, O(5) is bonded in a trigonal planar geometry to one Li(2), one Co(1), and one C(2) atom. In the sixth O site, O(6) is bonded in a distorted trigonal planar geometry to one Li(1), one Co(1), and one C(2) atom. is represented by the CIF card [CIF]
