description: Li3Ti2(PO4)3 crystallizes in the monoclinic P2/c space group. The structure is three-dimensional. there are five inequivalent Li1+ sites. In the first Li1+ site, Li1+ is bonded in a 6-coordinate geometry to six O2- atoms. There are a spread of Li–O bond distances ranging from 2.04–2.68 Å. In the second Li1+ site, Li1+ is bonded in a 6-coordinate geometry to six O2- atoms. There are a spread of Li–O bond distances ranging from 2.14–2.54 Å. In the third Li1+ site, Li1+ is bonded to six O2- atoms to form distorted LiO6 octahedra that share corners with six PO4 tetrahedra and faces with two equivalent TiO6 octahedra. There are a spread of Li–O bond distances ranging from 2.25–2.28 Å. In the fourth Li1+ site, Li1+ is bonded to six O2- atoms to form distorted LiO6 octahedra that share corners with six PO4 tetrahedra and faces with two equivalent TiO6 octahedra. There are a spread of Li–O bond distances ranging from 2.22–2.24 Å. In the fifth Li1+ site, Li1+ is bonded in a 6-coordinate geometry to six O2- atoms. There are a spread of Li–O bond distances ranging from 2.06–2.53 Å. There are two inequivalent Ti3+ sites. In the first Ti3+ site, Ti3+ is bonded to six O2- atoms to form TiO6 octahedra that share corners with six PO4 tetrahedra and a faceface with one LiO6 octahedra. There are a spread of Ti–O bond distances ranging from 1.95–2.10 Å. In the second Ti3+ site, Ti3+ is bonded to six O2- atoms to form TiO6 octahedra that share corners with six PO4 tetrahedra and a faceface with one LiO6 octahedra. There are a spread of Ti–O bond distances ranging from 1.95–2.13 Å. There are four inequivalent P5+ sites. In the first P5+ site, P5+ is bonded to four O2- atoms to form PO4 tetrahedra that share corners with two equivalent LiO6 octahedra and corners with four TiO6 octahedra. The corner-sharing octahedra tilt angles range from 26–45°. There is two shorter (1.53 Å) and two longer (1.56 Å) P–O bond length. In the second P5+ site, P5+ is bonded to four O2- atoms to form PO4 tetrahedra that share corners with two LiO6 octahedra and corners with four TiO6 octahedra. The corner-sharing octahedra tilt angles range from 28–45°. There is three shorter (1.55 Å) and one longer (1.56 Å) P–O bond length. In the third P5+ site, P5+ is bonded to four O2- atoms to form PO4 tetrahedra that share corners with two LiO6 octahedra and corners with four TiO6 octahedra. The corner-sharing octahedra tilt angles range from 18–47°. There are a spread of P–O bond distances ranging from 1.53–1.57 Å. In the fourth P5+ site, P5+ is bonded to four O2- atoms to form PO4 tetrahedra that share corners with two equivalent LiO6 octahedra and corners with four TiO6 octahedra. The corner-sharing octahedra tilt angles range from 32–48°. There is two shorter (1.53 Å) and two longer (1.57 Å) P–O bond length. There are twelve inequivalent O2- sites. In the first O2- site, O2- is bonded in a 3-coordinate geometry to one Li1+, one Ti3+, and one P5+ atom. In the second O2- site, O2- is bonded in a distorted linear geometry to one Ti3+ and one P5+ atom.
