Sr2CoNbO6 is (Cubic) Perovskite-derived structured and crystallizes in the cubic Fm-3m space group. The structure is three-dimensional. Sr2+ is bonded to twelve equivalent O2- atoms to form SrO12 cuboctahedra that share corners with twelve equivalent SrO12 cuboctahedra, faces with six equivalent SrO12 cuboctahedra, faces with four equivalent NbO6 octahedra, and faces with four equivalent CoO6 octahedra. All Sr–O bond lengths are 2.83 Å. Nb5+ is bonded to six equivalent O2- atoms to form NbO6 octahedra that share corners with six equivalent CoO6 octahedra and faces with eight equivalent SrO12 cuboctahedra. The corner-sharing octahedral tilt angles are 0°. All Nb–O bond lengths are 2.00 Å. Co3+ is bonded to six equivalent O2- atoms to form CoO6 octahedra that share corners with six equivalent NbO6 octahedra and faces with eight equivalent SrO12 cuboctahedra. The corner-sharing octahedral tilt angles are 0°. All Co–O bond lengths are 1.99 Å. O2- is bonded in a distorted linear geometry to four equivalent Sr2+, one Nb5+, and one Co3+ atom.
