CoCu(PO4)2 crystallizes in the monoclinic P2_1/m space group. The structure is three-dimensional. Co4+ is bonded to six O2- atoms to form distorted CoO6 octahedra that share corners with four PO4 tetrahedra and an edgeedge with one PO4 tetrahedra. There are a spread of Co–O bond distances ranging from 1.92–2.24 Å. Cu2+ is bonded in a rectangular see-saw-like geometry to four O2- atoms. There are a spread of Cu–O bond distances ranging from 1.84–1.89 Å. There are two inequivalent P5+ sites. In the first P5+ site, P5+ is bonded to four O2- atoms to form PO4 tetrahedra that share corners with three equivalent CoO6 octahedra. The corner-sharing octahedra tilt angles range from 43–50°. There is one shorter (1.53 Å) and three longer (1.56 Å) P–O bond length. In the second P5+ site, P5+ is bonded to four O2- atoms to form PO4 tetrahedra that share a cornercorner with one CoO6 octahedra and an edgeedge with one CoO6 octahedra. The corner-sharing octahedral tilt angles are 47°. There are a spread of P–O bond distances ranging from 1.51–1.58 Å. There are six inequivalent O2- sites. In the first O2- site, O2- is bonded in a distorted bent 150 degrees geometry to one Co4+ and one P5+ atom. In the second O2- site, O2- is bonded in a bent 120 degrees geometry to one Cu2+ and one P5+ atom. In the third O2- site, O2- is bonded in a distorted bent 120 degrees geometry to one Co4+ and one P5+ atom. In the fourth O2- site, O2- is bonded in a 3-coordinate geometry to one Co4+, one Cu2+, and one P5+ atom. In the fifth O2- site, O2- is bonded in a distorted bent 120 degrees geometry to one Co4+ and one P5+ atom. In the sixth O2- site, O2- is bonded in a bent 120 degrees geometry to one Cu2+ and one P5+ atom.
