Co3Sn(PO4)4 crystallizes in the monoclinic Pm space group. The structure is three-dimensional. there are three inequivalent Co+2.67+ sites. In the first Co+2.67+ site, Co+2.67+ is bonded to six O2- atoms to form distorted CoO6 octahedra that share corners with four equivalent CoO6 octahedra, corners with four PO4 tetrahedra, and an edgeedge with one PO4 tetrahedra. The corner-sharing octahedral tilt angles are 47°. There are a spread of Co–O bond distances ranging from 1.85–2.14 Å. In the second Co+2.67+ site, Co+2.67+ is bonded to six O2- atoms to form distorted CoO6 octahedra that share corners with four equivalent SnO6 octahedra, corners with four PO4 tetrahedra, and an edgeedge with one PO4 tetrahedra. The corner-sharing octahedra tilt angles range from 51–52°. There are a spread of Co–O bond distances ranging from 1.96–2.25 Å. In the third Co+2.67+ site, Co+2.67+ is bonded to six O2- atoms to form distorted CoO6 octahedra that share corners with four equivalent CoO6 octahedra, corners with four PO4 tetrahedra, and an edgeedge with one PO4 tetrahedra. The corner-sharing octahedral tilt angles are 47°. There are a spread of Co–O bond distances ranging from 1.88–2.12 Å. Sn4+ is bonded to six O2- atoms to form SnO6 octahedra that share corners with four equivalent CoO6 octahedra, corners with four PO4 tetrahedra, and an edgeedge with one PO4 tetrahedra. The corner-sharing octahedra tilt angles range from 51–52°. There are a spread of Sn–O bond distances ranging from 2.01–2.17 Å. There are four inequivalent P5+ sites. In the first P5+ site, P5+ is bonded to four O2- atoms to form PO4 tetrahedra that share a cornercorner with one SnO6 octahedra, corners with three CoO6 octahedra, and an edgeedge with one CoO6 octahedra. The corner-sharing octahedra tilt angles range from 43–57°. There are a spread of P–O bond distances ranging from 1.54–1.56 Å. In the second P5+ site, P5+ is bonded to four O2- atoms to form PO4 tetrahedra that share a cornercorner with one SnO6 octahedra, corners with three CoO6 octahedra, and an edgeedge with one SnO6 octahedra. The corner-sharing octahedra tilt angles range from 37–57°. There are a spread of P–O bond distances ranging from 1.53–1.58 Å. In the third P5+ site, P5+ is bonded to four O2- atoms to form PO4 tetrahedra that share corners with four CoO6 octahedra and an edgeedge with one CoO6 octahedra. The corner-sharing octahedra tilt angles range from 38–56°. There are a spread of P–O bond distances ranging from 1.51–1.58 Å. In the fourth P5+ site, P5+ is bonded to four O2- atoms to form PO4 tetrahedra that share corners with two CoO6 octahedra, corners with two equivalent SnO6 octahedra, and an edgeedge with one CoO6 octahedra. The corner-sharing octahedra tilt angles range from 39–56°. There are a spread of P–O bond distances ranging from 1.51–1.60 Å. There are twelve inequivalent O2- sites. In the first O2- site, O2- is bonded in a distorted bent 150 degrees geometry to one Sn4+ and one P5+ atom. In the second O2- site, O2- is bonded in a 3-coordinate geometry to two Co+2.67+ and one P5+ atom. In the third O2- site, O2- is bonded in a distorted bent 150 degrees geometry to one Co+2.67+ and one P5+ atom. In the fourth O2- site, O2- is bonded in a bent 150 degrees geometry to one Co+2.67+ and one P5+ atom. In the fifth O2- site, O2- is bonded in a distorted trigonal planar geometry to one Co+2.67+, one Sn4+, and one P5+ atom. In the sixth O2- site, O2- is bonded in a bent 150 degrees geometry to one Co+2.67+ and one P5+ atom. In the seventh O2- site, O2- is bonded in a bent 150 degrees geometry to one Co+2.67+ and one P5+ atom. In the eighth O2- site, O2- is bonded in a 3-coordinate geometry to two Co+2.67+ and one P5+ atom. In the ninth O2- site, O2- is bonded in a distorted bent 150 degrees geometry to one Sn4+ and one P5+ atom. In the tenth O2- site, O2- is bonded in a distorted bent 150 degrees geometry to one Co+2.67+ and one P5+ atom. In the eleventh O2- site, O2- is bonded in a 3-coordinate geometry to one Co+2.67+, one Sn4+, and one P5+ atom. In the twelfth O2- site, O2- is bonded in a bent 150 degrees geometry to one Co+2.67+ and one P5+ atom.
