The compound described by Li2CoGeO4 is Stannite-like structured and crystallizes in the orthorhombic Pmn2_1 space group. Li(1) is bonded to one O(1), one O(2), and two equivalent O(3) atoms to form LiO4 tetrahedra that share corners with four equivalent Li(1)O4 tetrahedra, corners with four equivalent Co(1)O4 tetrahedra, and corners with four equivalent Ge(1)O4 tetrahedra. Co(1) is bonded to one O(1), one O(2), and two equivalent O(3) atoms to form CoO4 tetrahedra that share corners with four equivalent Ge(1)O4 tetrahedra and corners with eight equivalent Li(1)O4 tetrahedra. Ge(1) is bonded to one O(1), one O(2), and two equivalent O(3) atoms to form GeO4 tetrahedra that share corners with four equivalent Co(1)O4 tetrahedra and corners with eight equivalent Li(1)O4 tetrahedra. There are three inequivalent O sites. In the first O site, O(1) is bonded to two equivalent Li(1), one Co(1), and one Ge(1) atom to form corner-sharing OLi2CoGe tetrahedra. In the second O site, O(2) is bonded to two equivalent Li(1), one Co(1), and one Ge(1) atom to form corner-sharing OLi2CoGe tetrahedra. In the third O site, O(3) is bonded to two equivalent Li(1), one Co(1), and one Ge(1) atom to form corner-sharing OLi2CoGe tetrahedra. is represented by the Crystallographic Information File (CIF) [CIF]
