Materials Data on CoCO3 by Materials Project
CoCO3 crystallizes in the monoclinic C2/c space group. The structure is one-dimensional and consists of four carbon dioxide molecules and two CoO ribbons oriented in the (0, 0, 1) direction. In each CoO ribbon, Co2+ is bonded in a linear geometry to two equivalent O2- atoms. Both Co–O bond lengths are 1.77 Å. O2- is bonded in a water-like geometry to two equivalent Co2+ atoms.
