The structure described by V(CoN)4 crystallizes in the triclinic P-1 space group. V(1) is bonded to one N(1), one N(2), one N(3), and one N(4) atom to form VN4 tetrahedra that share  a cornercorner with one Co(4)N5 square pyramid, corners with three equivalent Co(3)N5 square pyramids, corners with four equivalent Co(2)N4 trigonal pyramids,  an edgeedge with one Co(3)N5 square pyramid, and edges with two equivalent Co(4)N5 square pyramids. There are four inequivalent Co sites. In the first Co site, Co(1) is bonded in a distorted rectangular see-saw-like geometry to one N(1), one N(2), one N(3), and one N(4) atom. In the second Co site, Co(2) is bonded to two equivalent N(2) and two equivalent N(3) atoms to form distorted CoN4 trigonal pyramids that share corners with two equivalent Co(3)N5 square pyramids, corners with two equivalent Co(4)N5 square pyramids, corners with four equivalent V(1)N4 tetrahedra, and edges with two equivalent Co(2)N4 trigonal pyramids.
