The material structure described by Co6BP crystallizes in the monoclinic C2 space group. There are six inequivalent Co sites. In the first Co site, Co(1) is bonded in a 2-coordinate geometry to one B(1) and one P(1) atom. In the second Co site, Co(2) is bonded in a 2-coordinate geometry to one B(1) and one P(1) atom. In the third Co site, Co(3) is bonded in a 4-coordinate geometry to two equivalent B(1) and two equivalent P(1) atoms. In the fourth Co site, Co(4) is bonded to two equivalent B(1) and two equivalent P(1) atoms to form a mixture of distorted corner and edge-sharing CoB2P2 tetrahedra. In the fifth Co site, Co(5) is bonded in a distorted water-like geometry to one B(1) and one P(1) atom. In the sixth Co site, Co(6) is bonded in a 3-coordinate geometry to one B(1) and two equivalent P(1) atoms. B(1) is bonded in a 8-coordinate geometry to one Co(1), one Co(2), one Co(5), one Co(6), two equivalent Co(3), and two equivalent Co(4) atoms. P(1) is bonded in a 9-coordinate geometry to one Co(1), one Co(2), one Co(5), two equivalent Co(3), two equivalent Co(4), and two equivalent Co(6) atoms. is represented by the Crystallographic Information File (CIF) [CIF]
