description: LiCoOF2 crystallizes in the monoclinic Pc space group. The structure is three-dimensional. there are four inequivalent Li1+ sites. In the first Li1+ site, Li1+ is bonded to four F1- atoms to form LiF4 tetrahedra that share corners with three LiO2F4 octahedra, corners with three CoOF5 octahedra, and corners with two equivalent LiOF3 tetrahedra. The corner-sharing octahedra tilt angles range from 55–66°. There are a spread of Li–F bond distances ranging from 1.86–1.90 Å. In the second Li1+ site, Li1+ is bonded to two O2- and four F1- atoms to form LiO2F4 octahedra that share a cornercorner with one CoO2F4 octahedra, corners with three LiF4 tetrahedra, corners with two equivalent CoO4F trigonal bipyramids, edges with two equivalent LiO2F4 octahedra, and edges with three CoO2F4 octahedra. The corner-sharing octahedral tilt angles are 8°. There are one shorter (2.08 Å) and one longer (2.11 Å) Li–O bond lengths. There are a spread of Li–F bond distances ranging from 1.95–2.33 Å. In the third Li1+ site, Li1+ is bonded to one O2- and three F1- atoms to form LiOF3 tetrahedra that share corners with two equivalent CoOF5 octahedra, corners with three LiO2F4 octahedra, corners with two equivalent LiF4 tetrahedra, and a cornercorner with one CoO4F trigonal bipyramid.

There are four inequivalent O2- sites. In the first O2- site, O2- is bonded to two Li1+ and two Co3+ atoms to form OLi2Co2 tetrahedra that share corners with two equivalent FLi3Co tetrahedra and an edgeedge with one FLi3Co tetrahedra.
