In the third Ca site, Ca is bonded to twelve O atoms to form CaO12 cuboctahedra that share corners with twelve equivalent CaO12 cuboctahedra, faces with six equivalent CaO12 cuboctahedra, a faceface with one CuO6 octahedra, and faces with seven CoO6 octahedra. There are a spread of Ca–O bond distances ranging from 2.66–2.68 Å. Mg is bonded to twelve O atoms to form MgO12 cuboctahedra that share corners with twelve equivalent CaO12 cuboctahedra, faces with six equivalent CaO12 cuboctahedra, a faceface with one CuO6 octahedra, and faces with seven CoO6 octahedra. There are a spread of Mg–O bond distances ranging from 2.64–2.67 Å. There are three inequivalent Co sites. In the first Co site, Co is bonded to six O atoms to form CoO6 octahedra that share corners with two equivalent CuO6 octahedra, corners with four equivalent CoO6 octahedra, a faceface with one MgO12 cuboctahedra, and faces with seven CaO12 cuboctahedra. The corner-sharing octahedra tilt angles range from 0–1°. There is two shorter (1.86 Å) and four longer (1.90 Å) Co–O bond length. In the second Co site, Co is bonded to six O atoms to form CoO6 octahedra that share corners with six CoO6 octahedra, a faceface with one MgO12 cuboctahedra, and faces with seven CaO12 cuboctahedra. The corner-sharing octahedra tilt angles range from 0–1°. All Co–O bond lengths are 1.88 Å. In the third Co site, Co is bonded to six O atoms to form CoO6 octahedra that share corners with six equivalent CoO6 octahedra, a faceface with one MgO12 cuboctahedra, and faces with seven CaO12 cuboctahedra. The corner-sharing octahedra tilt angles range from 0–1°. There is three shorter (1.89 Å) and three longer (1.90 Å) Co–O bond length. Cu is bonded to six O atoms to form CuO6 octahedra that share corners with six equivalent CoO6 octahedra, a faceface with one MgO12 cuboctahedra, and faces with seven CaO12 cuboctahedra. The corner-sharing octahedra tilt angles range from 0–1°. There is three shorter (1.91 Å) and three longer (1.92 Å) Cu–O bond length. There are six inequivalent O sites. In the first O site, O is bonded in a distorted linear geometry to three Ca, one Mg, one Co, and one Cu atom. In the second O site, O is bonded in a distorted linear geometry to three Ca, one Mg, and two Co atoms. In the third O site, O is bonded in a distorted linear geometry to three Ca, one Mg, and two Co atoms. In the fourth O site, O is bonded to four Ca, one Co, and one Cu atom to form distorted OCa4CoCu octahedra that share corners with twelve OCa4Co2 octahedra, edges with four equivalent OCa4Co2 octahedra, and faces with four OCa4CoCu octahedra. The corner-sharing octahedra tilt angles range from 1–61°. In the fifth O site, O is bonded to four Ca and two Co atoms to form a mixture of distorted face, edge, and corner-sharing OCa4Co2 octahedra. The corner-sharing octahedra tilt angles range from 1–61°. In the sixth O site, O is bonded to four Ca and two Co atoms to form distorted OCa4Co2 octahedra that share corners with twelve OCa4CoCu octahedra, edges with four equivalent OCa4Co2 octahedra, and faces with four OCa4Co2 octahedra. The corner-sharing octahedra tilt angles range from 1–61°.
