The compound described by Co6O5F7 is Hydrophilite-derived structured and crystallizes in the monoclinic C2 space group. There are four inequivalent Co sites. In the first Co site, Co(1) is bonded to two equivalent O(2), two equivalent F(1), and two equivalent F(3) atoms to form CoO2F4 octahedra that share corners with eight equivalent Co(3)O3F3 octahedra and edges with two equivalent Co(2)O2F4 octahedra.

The corner-sharing octahedral tilt angles range from 46-61°. There are three inequivalent O sites. In the first O site, O(1) is bonded in a trigonal planar geometry to one Co(4) and two equivalent Co(2) atoms. In the second O site, O(2) is bonded in a distorted trigonal planar geometry to one Co(1) and two equivalent Co(3) atoms. In the third O site, O(3) is bonded in a trigonal planar geometry to one Co(2), one Co(3), and one Co(4) atom. There are four inequivalent F sites. In the first F site, F(1) is bonded in a distorted trigonal planar geometry to one Co(1), one Co(2), and one Co(3) atom. In the second F site, F(2) is bonded in a distorted trigonal planar geometry to one Co(2), one Co(3), and one Co(4) atom. In the third F site, F(3) is bonded in a distorted trigonal planar geometry to one Co(1), one Co(2), and one Co(3) atom.
