description: Li2Fe(PO4)2 crystallizes in the monoclinic P2_1 space group. The structure is three-dimensional. there are four inequivalent Li sites. In the first Li site, Li is bonded to five O atoms to form distorted LiO5 trigonal bipyramids that share a cornercorner with one FeO6 octahedra, corners with five PO4 tetrahedra, and an edgeedge with one FeO6 octahedra. The corner-sharing octahedral tilt angles are 70°. There are a spread of Li–O bond distances ranging from 2.00–2.30 Å. In the second Li site, Li is bonded in a 5-coordinate geometry to five O atoms. There are a spread of Li–O bond distances ranging from 2.02–2.33 Å. In the third Li site, Li is bonded in a 5-coordinate geometry to five O atoms. There are a spread of Li–O bond distances ranging from 1.98–2.48 Å. In the fourth Li site, Li is bonded in a 6-coordinate geometry to six O atoms. There are a spread of Li–O bond distances ranging from 2.00–2.58 Å. There are two inequivalent Fe sites. In the first Fe site, Fe is bonded to six O atoms to form FeO6 octahedra that share corners with six PO4 tetrahedra. There are a spread of Fe–O bond distances ranging from 1.98–2.11 Å. In the second Fe site, Fe is bonded to six O atoms to form FeO6 octahedra that share corners with six PO4 tetrahedra, a cornercorner with one LiO5 trigonal bipyramid, and an edgeedge with one LiO5 trigonal bipyramid.

In the third P site, P is bonded to four O atoms to form PO4 tetrahedra that share corners with three FeO6 octahedra and a cornercorner with one LiO5 trigonal bipyramid. The corner-sharing octahedra tilt angles range from 46–51°. There are a spread of P–O bond distances ranging from 1.53–1.56 Å. In the fourth P site, P is bonded to four O atoms to form PO4 tetrahedra that share corners with three FeO6 octahedra and corners with two equivalent LiO5 trigonal bipyramids.
