The crystal structure of fedotovite, K₂Cu₃O(SO₄)₃ has been determined, space group C2/c, a 19.037(6), b 9.479(2), c 14.231(5) Å, β 111.04(3)°, Z = 8, D_x = 3.09 g/cm³. The main units of the fedotovite structure are formed around two additional oxygen atoms and consist of edge-sharing [OCu₄] tetrahedra and four [SO₄] tetrahedra attached to them. The units are further connected by two [SO₄] tetrahedra, building distinct layers parallel to the yz plane. These layers are interconnected by potassium atoms. In the fedotovite structure, the three kinds of copper atoms are fivefold (4 + 1) coordinated to oxygen atoms with a strong Jahn-Teller effect. The coordination polyhedra of Cu1 and Cu2 atoms are distorted and flattened orthorhombic pyramids with Cu-O distances varying from 1.912 to 2.333 Å, the sixth neighbour of the both atoms is the copper atom lying at 2.975 and 2.981 Å for Cu2 and Cu1 respectively. The coordination environment of the Cu3 atom is a distorted elongated orthorhombic pyramid with four Cu-O distances from 1.943 to 1.961 Å, a fifth at 2.558 Å, and further sixth and seventh neighbours (oxygen and copper atoms) at 2.809 and 2.806 Å, respectively.
