description: LiVPO4 crystallizes in the orthorhombic Pna2_1 space group. The structure is three-dimensional. there are three inequivalent Li1+ sites. In the first Li1+ site, Li1+ is bonded in a 4-coordinate geometry to four O2- atoms. There are a spread of Li–O bond distances ranging from 2.00–2.18 Å. In the second Li1+ site, Li1+ is bonded in a 4-coordinate geometry to four O2- atoms. There are a spread of Li–O bond distances ranging from 2.00–2.16 Å. In the third Li1+ site, Li1+ is bonded in a 4-coordinate geometry to four O2- atoms. There are a spread of Li–O bond distances ranging from 2.00–2.15 Å. There are three inequivalent V2+ sites. In the first V2+ site, V2+ is bonded to six O2- atoms to form VO6 octahedra that share corners with six PO4 tetrahedra and edges with two VO6 octahedra. There are a spread of V–O bond distances ranging from 2.16–2.23 Å. In the second V2+ site, V2+ is bonded to six O2- atoms to form VO6 octahedra that share corners with six PO4 tetrahedra and edges with two VO6 octahedra. There are a spread of V–O bond distances ranging from 2.16–2.24 Å. In the third V2+ site, V2+ is bonded to six O2- atoms to form VO6 octahedra that share corners with six PO4 tetrahedra and edges with two VO6 octahedra. There are a spread of V–O bond distances ranging from 2.16–2.23 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 six VO6 octahedra. The corner-sharing octahedra tilt angles range from 45–53°. There are a spread of P–O bond distances ranging from 1.53–1.59 Å. In the second P5+ site, P5+ is bonded to four O2- atoms to form PO4 tetrahedra that share corners with six VO6 octahedra. The corner-sharing octahedra tilt angles range from 46–52°. There are a spread of P–O bond distances ranging from 1.53–1.59 Å. In the third P5+ site, P5+ is bonded to four O2- atoms to form PO4 tetrahedra that share corners with six VO6 octahedra. The corner-sharing octahedra tilt angles range from 46–52°. There is two shorter (1.53 Å) and two longer (1.58 Å) P–O bond length. There are twelve inequivalent O2- sites. In the first O2- site, O2- is bonded in a distorted trigonal planar geometry to one Li1+, one V2+, and one P5+ atom. In the second O2- site, O2- is bonded in a distorted trigonal planar geometry to one Li1+, one V2+, and one P5+ atom. In the third O2- site, O2- is bonded to one Li1+, two V2+, and one P5+ atom to form distorted corner-sharing OLiV2P tetrahedra. In the fourth O2- site, O2- is bonded in a 4-coordinate geometry to one Li1+, two V2+, and one P5+ atom. In the fifth O2- site, O2- is bonded to one Li1+, two V2+, and one P5+ atom to form a mixture of distorted edge and corner-sharing OLiV2P tetrahedra. In the sixth O2- site, O2- is bonded to one Li1+, two V2+, and one P5+ atom to form a mixture of distorted edge and corner-sharing OLiV2P tetrahedra. In the seventh O2- site, O2- is bonded in a distorted trigonal planar geometry to one Li1+, one V2+, and one P5+ atom. In the eighth O2- site, O2- is bonded in a distorted trigonal planar geometry to one Li1+, one V2+, and one P5+ atom. In the ninth O2- site, O2- is bonded in a distorted trigonal planar geometry to one Li1+, one V2+, and one P5+ atom. In the tenth O2- site, O2- is bonded in a distorted trigonal planar geometry to one Li1+, one V2+, and one P5+ atom. In the eleventh O2- site, O2- is bonded to one Li1+, two V2+, and one P5+ atom to form a mixture of distorted edge and corner-sharing OLiV2P tetrahedra. In the twelfth O2- site, O2- is bonded to one Li1+, two V2+, and one P5+ atom to form a mixture of distorted edge and corner-sharing OLiV2P tetrahedra.
