Li3Co2(SiO4)2 crystallizes in the triclinic P1 space group. The structure is three-dimensional. there are three inequivalent Li1+ sites. In the first Li1+ site, Li1+ is bonded to four O2- atoms to form LiO4 tetrahedra that share corners with two equivalent CoO4 tetrahedra, corners with four LiO4 tetrahedra, and corners with four SiO4 tetrahedra. There are a spread of Li–O bond distances ranging from 1.94–2.17 Å. In the second Li1+ site, Li1+ is bonded to four O2- atoms to form LiO4 tetrahedra that share corners with four LiO4 tetrahedra, corners with four CoO4 tetrahedra, and corners with four SiO4 tetrahedra. There are a spread of Li–O bond distances ranging from 1.95–2.32 Å. In the third Li1+ site, Li1+ is bonded to four O2- atoms to form LiO4 tetrahedra that share corners with two equivalent CoO4 tetrahedra, corners with four LiO4 tetrahedra, and corners with four SiO4 tetrahedra. There are a spread of Li–O bond distances ranging from 1.92–2.14 Å. There are two inequivalent Co+2.50+ sites. In the first Co+2.50+ site, Co+2.50+ is bonded to four O2- atoms to form CoO4 tetrahedra that share corners with two equivalent CoO4 tetrahedra, corners with four LiO4 tetrahedra, and corners with four SiO4 tetrahedra. There are a spread of Co–O bond distances ranging from 1.82–1.96 Å. In the second Co+2.50+ site, Co+2.50+ is bonded to four O2- atoms to form CoO4 tetrahedra that share corners with two equivalent CoO4 tetrahedra, corners with four LiO4 tetrahedra, and corners with four SiO4 tetrahedra. There are a spread of Co–O bond distances ranging from 1.90–2.04 Å. There are two inequivalent Si4+ sites. In the first Si4+ site, Si4+ is bonded to four O2- atoms to form SiO4 tetrahedra that share corners with four CoO4 tetrahedra and corners with six LiO4 tetrahedra. There are a spread of Si–O bond distances ranging from 1.59–1.70 Å. In the second Si4+ site, Si4+ is bonded to four O2- atoms to form SiO4 tetrahedra that share corners with four CoO4 tetrahedra and corners with six LiO4 tetrahedra. There are a spread of Si–O bond distances ranging from 1.62–1.72 Å. There are eight inequivalent O2- sites. In the first O2- site, O2- is bonded in a trigonal planar geometry to two Li1+ and one Si4+ atom. In the second O2- site, O2- is bonded in a trigonal non-coplanar geometry to two Co+2.50+ and one Si4+ atom. In the third O2- site, O2- is bonded to two Li1+, one Co+2.50+, and one Si4+ atom to form corner-sharing OLi2CoSi tetrahedra. In the fourth O2- site, O2- is bonded in a trigonal non-coplanar geometry to one Li1+, one Co+2.50+, and one Si4+ atom. In the fifth O2- site, O2- is bonded to two Li1+, one Co+2.50+, and one Si4+ atom to form corner-sharing OLi2CoSi tetrahedra. In the sixth O2- site, O2- is bonded in a trigonal planar geometry to one Li1+, one Co+2.50+, and one Si4+ atom. In the seventh O2- site, O2- is bonded to one Li1+, two Co+2.50+, and one Si4+ atom to form corner-sharing OLiCo2Si tetrahedra. In the eighth O2- site, O2- is bonded to three Li1+ and one Si4+ atom to form corner-sharing OLi3Si tetrahedra.
