title: Materials Data on Li5Mn2CoO8 by Materials Project

description: Li5Mn2CoO8 is Caswellsilverite-derived structured and crystallizes in the monoclinic P2 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 corners with two equivalent MnO6 octahedra, corners with four equivalent LiO6 octahedra, edges with two equivalent CoO6 octahedra, edges with four MnO6 octahedra, and edges with six LiO6 octahedra. The corner-sharing octahedra tilt angles range from 5–10°. There are a spread of Li–O bond distances ranging from 2.07–2.16 Å. In the second 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 CoO6 octahedra, edges with four MnO6 octahedra, and edges with eight LiO6 octahedra. The corner-sharing octahedra tilt angles range from 8–9°. There are a spread of Li–O bond distances ranging from 2.07–2.18 Å. In the third Li1+ site, Li1+ is bonded to six O2- atoms to form LiO6 octahedra that share corners with two equivalent LiO6 octahedra, corners with four equivalent MnO6 octahedra, edges with two equivalent MnO6 octahedra, edges with two equivalent CoO6 octahedra, and edges with eight LiO6 octahedra. The corner-sharing octahedra tilt angles range from 6–8°. There are a spread of Li–O bond distances ranging from 2.00–2.22 Å. In the fourth Li1+ site, Li1+ is bonded to six O2- atoms to form LiO6 octahedra that share corners with two equivalent CoO6 octahedra, corners with four equivalent MnO6 octahedra, edges with two equivalent MnO6 octahedra, edges with two equivalent CoO6 octahedra, and edges with eight LiO6 octahedra. The corner-sharing octahedra tilt angles range from 4–11°. There are a spread of Li–O bond distances ranging from 2.16–2.22 Å. In the fifth Li1+ site, Li1+ is bonded to six O2- atoms to form LiO6 octahedra that share corners with six LiO6 octahedra, edges with two equivalent CoO6 octahedra, edges with four MnO6 octahedra, and edges with six LiO6 octahedra. The corner-sharing octahedra tilt angles range from 8–10°. There are two shorter (2.09 Å) and four longer (2.10 Å) Li–O bond lengths. There are two inequivalent Mn+4.50+ sites. In the first Mn+4.50+ site, Mn+4.50+ is bonded to six O2- atoms to form MnO6 octahedra that share corners with six LiO6 octahedra, edges with two equivalent MnO6 octahedra, edges with two equivalent CoO6 octahedra, and edges with eight LiO6 octahedra. The corner-sharing octahedra tilt angles range from 5–7°. There are a spread of Mn–O bond distances ranging from 1.93–1.95 Å. In the second Mn+4.50+ site, Mn+4.50+ is bonded to six O2- atoms to form MnO6 octahedra that share corners with six LiO6 octahedra, edges with two equivalent MnO6 octahedra, edges with two equivalent CoO6 octahedra, and edges with eight LiO6 octahedra. The corner-sharing octahedra tilt angles range from 4–9°. There are a spread of Mn–O bond distances ranging from 1.92–2.00 Å. Co2+ is bonded to six O2- atoms to form CoO6 octahedra that share corners with six LiO6 octahedra, edges with four MnO6 octahedra, and edges with eight LiO6 octahedra. The corner-sharing octahedra tilt angles range from 8–11°. There are a spread of Co–O bond distances ranging from 1.95–2.14 Å. There are four inequivalent O2- sites. In the first O2- site, O2- is bonded to three Li1+, two Mn+4.50+, and one Co2+ atom to form a mixture of corner and edge-sharing OLi3Mn2Co octahedra. The corner-sharing octahedra tilt angles range from 3–6°. In the second O2- site, O2- is bonded to four Li1+ and two Mn+4.50+ atoms to form OLi4Mn2 octahedra that share corners with six OLi4Mn2 octahedra and edges with twelve OLi3Mn2Co octahedra. The corner-sharing octahedra tilt angles range from 1–8°. In the third O2- site, O2- is bonded to four Li1+, one Mn+4.50+, and one Co2+ atom to form a mixture of corner and edge-sharing OLi4MnCo octahedra. The corner-sharing octahedra tilt angles range from 5–6°. In the fourth O2- site, O2- is bonded to four Li1+, one Mn+4.50+, and one Co2+ atom to form OLi4MnCo octahedra that share corners with six OLi4Mn2 octahedra and edges with twelve OLi3Mn2Co octahedra.
