description: Li3V5O12 is Ilmenite-like structured and 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 six O2- atoms to form distorted LiO6 octahedra that share a cornercorner with one VO6 octahedra, corners with two equivalent LiO6 octahedra, corners with four equivalent LiO6 pentagonal pyramids, edges with three VO6 octahedra, and a faceface with one VO6 octahedra. The corner-sharing octahedra tilt angles range from 59–61°. There are a spread of Li–O bond distances ranging from 2.02–2.19 Å. In the second Li1+ site, Li1+ is bonded to six O2- atoms to form distorted LiO6 pentagonal pyramids that share corners with four equivalent LiO6 octahedra, corners with five VO6 octahedra, edges with two equivalent VO6 octahedra, and a faceface with one VO6 octahedra. The corner-sharing octahedra tilt angles range from 53–66°. There are a spread of Li–O bond distances ranging from 2.06–2.20 Å. In the third Li1+ site, Li1+ is bonded to six O2- atoms to form distorted LiO6 octahedra that share corners with two equivalent LiO6 octahedra, corners with seven VO6 octahedra, an edgeedge with one VO6 octahedra, and a faceface with one VO6 octahedra. The corner-sharing octahedra tilt angles range from 53–63°. There are a spread of Li–O bond distances ranging from 2.01–2.24 Å. There are five inequivalent V+4.20+ sites.

The corner-sharing octahedra tilt angles range from 53–64°. There are a spread of V–O bond distances ranging from 1.96–2.08 Å. There are twelve inequivalent O2- sites. In the first O2- site, O2- is bonded to one Li1+ and three V+4.20+ atoms to form a mixture of distorted edge and corner-sharing OLiV3 trigonal pyramids. In the second O2- site, O2- is bonded in a distorted see-saw-like geometry to two Li1+ and two V+4.20+ atoms.
