The structure described by LiCoSiO4 crystallizes in the monoclinic Pc space group. Li(1) is bonded in a 4-coordinate geometry to one O(1), one O(2), one O(3), and one O(4) atom. 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 Si(1)O4 tetrahedra. Si(1) is bonded to one O(1), one O(2), one O(3), and one O(4) atom to form SiO4 tetrahedra that share 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 distorted T-shaped geometry to one Li(1), one Co(1), and one Si(1) atom. In the second O site, O(2) is bonded in a distorted T-shaped geometry to one Li(1), one Co(1), and one Si(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 Si(1) atom. In the fourth O site, O(4) is bonded in a distorted T-shaped geometry to one Li(1), one Co(1), and one Si(1) atom. is represented by the Crystallographic Information File (CIF) [CIF]
