description: LiCr2O4 is Spinel-like structured and crystallizes in the triclinic P1 space group. The structure is three-dimensional. there are four inequivalent Li1+ sites. In the first Li1+ site, Li1+ is bonded to four O2- atoms to form LiO4 tetrahedra that share corners with twelve CrO6 octahedra. The corner-sharing octahedra tilt angles range from 55–64°. There are two shorter (1.99 Å) and two longer (2.01 Å) Li–O bond lengths. In the second Li1+ site, Li1+ is bonded to four O2- atoms to form LiO4 tetrahedra that share corners with twelve CrO6 octahedra. The corner-sharing octahedra tilt angles range from 56–63°. There are a spread of Li–O bond distances ranging from 2.00–2.03 Å. In the third Li1+ site, Li1+ is bonded to four O2- atoms to form LiO4 tetrahedra that share corners with twelve CrO6 octahedra. The corner-sharing octahedra tilt angles range from 57–63°. There are a spread of Li–O bond distances ranging from 1.97–2.04 Å. In the fourth Li1+ site, Li1+ is bonded to four O2- atoms to form LiO4 tetrahedra that share corners with twelve CrO6 octahedra. The corner-sharing octahedra tilt angles range from 55–62°.
