description: Li3VMn(PO4)3 crystallizes in the monoclinic Cc space group. The structure is three-dimensional. there are three inequivalent Li1+ sites. In the first Li1+ site, Li1+ is bonded in a rectangular see-saw-like geometry to four O2- atoms. There are a spread of Li–O bond distances ranging from 2.22–2.37 Å. In the second Li1+ site, Li1+ is bonded in a 6-coordinate geometry to six O2- atoms. There are a spread of Li–O bond distances ranging from 2.17–2.49 Å. In the third Li1+ site, Li1+ is bonded in a 6-coordinate geometry to six O2- atoms. There are a spread of Li–O bond distances ranging from 2.10–2.52 Å. V4+ is bonded to six O2- atoms to form VO6 octahedra that share corners with six PO4 tetrahedra and an edgeedge with one MnO6 octahedra. There are a spread of V–O bond distances ranging from 1.96–2.16 Å. Mn2+ is bonded to six O2- atoms to form distorted MnO6 octahedra that share corners with six PO4 tetrahedra and an edgeedge with one VO6 octahedra. There are a spread of Mn–O bond distances ranging from 1.95–2.34 Å. There are three inequivalent P5+ sites. In the first P5+ site, P5+ is bonded to four O2- atoms to form PO4 tetrahedra that share corners with two equivalent VO6 octahedra and corners with two equivalent MnO6 octahedra. The corner-sharing octahedra tilt angles range from 53–55°. There are a spread of P–O bond distances ranging from 1.54–1.57 Å. In the second P5+ site, P5+ is bonded to four O2- atoms to form PO4 tetrahedra that share a cornercorner with one MnO6 octahedra and corners with three equivalent VO6 octahedra. The corner-sharing octahedra tilt angles range from 37–61°. There are a spread of P–O bond distances ranging from 1.52–1.57 Å. In the third P5+ site, P5+ is bonded to four O2- atoms to form PO4 tetrahedra that share a cornercorner with one VO6 octahedra and corners with three equivalent MnO6 octahedra. The corner-sharing octahedra tilt angles range from 45–57°. There are a spread of P–O bond distances ranging from 1.52–1.60 Å. There are twelve inequivalent O2- sites. In the first O2- site, O2- is bonded in a 2-coordinate geometry to one Li1+, one V4+, and one P5+ atom. In the second O2- site, O2- is bonded in a 3-coordinate geometry to one V4+, one Mn2+, and one P5+ atom. In the third O2- site, O2- is bonded in a distorted trigonal non-coplanar geometry to one Li1+, one V4+, and one P5+ atom. In the fourth O2- site, O2- is bonded in a distorted trigonal non-coplanar geometry to one Li1+, one Mn2+, and one P5+ atom. In the fifth O2- site, O2- is bonded in a 4-coordinate geometry to two equivalent Li1+, one V4+, and one P5+ atom. In the sixth O2- site, O2- is bonded in a distorted trigonal planar geometry to one Li1+, one V4+, and one P5+ atom. In the seventh O2- site, O2- is bonded in a 4-coordinate geometry to three Li1+ and one P5+ atom. In the eighth O2- site, O2- is bonded in a distorted trigonal planar geometry to one Li1+, one Mn2+, and one P5+ atom. In the ninth O2- site, O2- is bonded in a 4-coordinate geometry to three Li1+ and one P5+ atom. In the tenth O2- site, O2- is bonded in a 2-coordinate geometry to one Li1+, one Mn2+, and one P5+ atom. In the eleventh O2- site, O2- is bonded in a distorted trigonal planar geometry to one V4+, one Mn2+, and one P5+ atom. In the twelfth O2- site, O2- is bonded to two equivalent Li1+, one Mn2+, and one P5+ atom to form distorted corner-sharing OLi2MnP trigonal pyramids.
