description: Li2Mn3(BO3)3 crystallizes in the triclinic P-1 space group. The structure is three-dimensional. there are two inequivalent Li1+ sites. In the first Li1+ site, Li1+ is bonded to four O2- atoms to form LiO4 tetrahedra that share corners with four MnO5 trigonal bipyramids and an edgeedge with one MnO5 trigonal bipyramid. There are a spread of Li–O bond distances ranging from 1.89–2.10 Å. In the second Li1+ site, Li1+ is bonded to four O2- atoms to form LiO4 trigonal pyramids that share corners with four MnO5 trigonal bipyramids, an edgeedge with one MnO5 trigonal bipyramid, and an edgeedge with one LiO4 trigonal pyramid. There are a spread of Li–O bond distances ranging from 1.96–2.03 Å. There are three inequivalent Mn+2.33+ sites. In the first Mn+2.33+ site, Mn+2.33+ is bonded to five O2- atoms to form MnO5 trigonal bipyramids that share corners with two equivalent LiO4 tetrahedra, a cornercorner with one LiO4 trigonal pyramid, and edges with two MnO5 trigonal bipyramids. There are a spread of Mn–O bond distances ranging from 2.06–2.14 Å. In the second Mn+2.33+ site, Mn+2.33+ is bonded to five O2- atoms to form MnO5 trigonal bipyramids that share a cornercorner with one LiO4 trigonal pyramid, an edgeedge with one LiO4 tetrahedra, and edges with two MnO5 trigonal bipyramids. There are a spread of Mn–O bond distances ranging from 2.03–2.16 Å. In the third Mn+2.33+ site, Mn+2.33+ is bonded to five O2- atoms to form MnO5 trigonal bipyramids that share corners with two equivalent LiO4 tetrahedra, corners with two equivalent LiO4 trigonal pyramids, edges with two MnO5 trigonal bipyramids, and an edgeedge with one LiO4 trigonal pyramid. There are a spread of Mn–O bond distances ranging from 2.08–2.23 Å. There are three inequivalent B3+ sites. In the first B3+ site, B3+ is bonded in a trigonal planar geometry to three O2- atoms. There are a spread of B–O bond distances ranging from 1.37–1.41 Å. In the second B3+ site, B3+ is bonded in a trigonal planar geometry to three O2- atoms. There are a spread of B–O bond distances ranging from 1.36–1.42 Å. In the third B3+ site, B3+ is bonded in a trigonal planar geometry to three O2- atoms. There are a spread of B–O bond distances ranging from 1.38–1.40 Å. There are nine inequivalent O2- sites. In the first O2- site, O2- is bonded in a distorted trigonal planar geometry to two equivalent Mn+2.33+ and one B3+ atom. In the second O2- site, O2- is bonded in a distorted trigonal non-coplanar geometry to one Li1+, one Mn+2.33+, and one B3+ atom. In the third O2- site, O2- is bonded in a distorted trigonal planar geometry to two equivalent Mn+2.33+ and one B3+ atom. In the fourth O2- site, O2- is bonded in a 4-coordinate geometry to one Li1+, two Mn+2.33+, and one B3+ atom. In the fifth O2- site, O2- is bonded in a 3-coordinate geometry to one Li1+, one Mn+2.33+, and one B3+ atom. In the sixth O2- site, O2- is bonded to one Li1+, two Mn+2.33+, and one B3+ atom to form distorted edge-sharing OLiMn2B tetrahedra. In the seventh O2- site, O2- is bonded to one Li1+, two Mn+2.33+, and one B3+ atom to form distorted edge-sharing OLiMn2B tetrahedra. In the eighth O2- site, O2- is bonded in a distorted rectangular see-saw-like geometry to two equivalent Li1+, one Mn+2.33+, and one B3+ atom. In the ninth O2- site, O2- is bonded in a distorted rectangular see-saw-like geometry to one Li1+, two Mn+2.33+, and one B3+ atom.
