description: Li4MnCo2O7 is Caswellsilverite-derived structured and crystallizes in the monoclinic C2/m space group. The structure is three-dimensional. there are five inequivalent Li1+ sites. In the first Li1+ site, Li1+ is bonded to six O2- atoms to form LiO6 octahedra that share a cornercorner with one CoO6 octahedra, edges with two equivalent MnO6 octahedra, and edges with eight LiO6 octahedra. The corner-sharing octahedral tilt angles are 12°. There are a spread of Li–O bond distances ranging from 2.06–2.25 Å. In the second Li1+ site, Li1+ is bonded to six O2- atoms to form LiO6 octahedra that share a cornercorner with one MnO6 octahedra, corners with four equivalent CoO6 octahedra, edges with two equivalent MnO6 octahedra, edges with four equivalent CoO6 octahedra, and edges with six LiO6 octahedra. The corner-sharing octahedra tilt angles range from 2–8°. There are a spread of Li–O bond distances ranging from 2.06–2.22 Å. In the third Li1+ site, Li1+ is bonded to six O2- atoms to form LiO6 octahedra that share corners with two equivalent MnO6 octahedra, corners with four equivalent LiO6 octahedra, and edges with eight LiO6 octahedra. The corner-sharing octahedra tilt angles range from 5–6°. There are four shorter (2.05 Å) and two longer (2.29 Å) Li–O bond lengths.

In the second Co4+ site, Co4+ is bonded in a 6-coordinate geometry to six O2- atoms. There are a spread of Co–O bond distances ranging from 1.78–2.39 Å. There are seven inequivalent O2- sites. In the first O2- site, O2- is bonded to four Li1+ and two equivalent Co4+ atoms to form a mixture of edge and corner-sharing OLi4Co2 octahedra. The corner-sharing octahedra tilt angles range from 0–20°. In the second O2- site, O2- is bonded to three equivalent Li1+, one Mn2+, and two equivalent Co4+ atoms to form OLi3MnCo2 octahedra that share corners with six OLi3Co3 octahedra and edges with twelve OLi3MnCo2 octahedra. The corner-sharing octahedra tilt angles range from 0–4°. In the third O2- site, O2- is bonded to three Li1+ and three equivalent Co4+ atoms to form OLi3Co3 octahedra that share corners with six OLi4Co2 octahedra and edges with twelve OLi3MnCo2 octahedra. The corner-sharing octahedra tilt angles range from 1–5°.
