title: Materials Data on Li5Mn(CoO4)2 by Materials Project

description: Li5Mn(CoO4)2 is Caswellsilverite-derived structured and crystallizes in the monoclinic P2/m space group. The structure is three-dimensional. there are four 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 four equivalent CoO6 octahedra, and edges with eight LiO6 octahedra. The corner-sharing octahedral tilt angles are 6°. There are four shorter (2.06 Å) and two longer (2.20 Å) Li–O bond lengths. In the second Li1+ site, Li1+ is bonded to six O2- atoms to form LiO6 octahedra that share corners with six equivalent CoO6 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 4–15°. There are a spread of Li–O bond distances ranging from 2.07–2.19 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 four equivalent CoO6 octahedra, and edges with six LiO6 octahedra. The corner-sharing octahedral tilt angles are 7°. There are two shorter (2.02 Å) and four longer (2.20 Å) Li–O bond lengths. In the fourth Li1+ site, Li1+ is bonded to six O2- atoms to form LiO6 octahedra that share corners with six LiO6 octahedra, edges with four equivalent CoO6 octahedra, and edges with eight LiO6 octahedra. The corner-sharing octahedra tilt angles range from 6–7°. There are four shorter (2.09 Å) and two longer (2.12 Å) Li–O bond lengths. Mn7+ 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 four equivalent CoO6 octahedra, and edges with six LiO6 octahedra. The corner-sharing octahedra tilt angles range from 6–7°. All Mn–O bond lengths are 1.94 Å. Co2+ is bonded to six O2- atoms to form distorted CoO6 octahedra that share corners with six equivalent 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 4–15°. There are a spread of Co–O bond distances ranging from 1.78–2.26 Å. There are four inequivalent O2- sites. In the first O2- site, O2- is bonded to four Li1+ and two equivalent Co2+ atoms to form a mixture of edge and corner-sharing OLi4Co2 octahedra. The corner-sharing octahedra tilt angles range from 0–16°. In the second O2- site, O2- is bonded to three Li1+, two equivalent Mn7+, and one Co2+ atom to form OLi3Mn2Co octahedra that share corners with six OLi3Mn2Co octahedra and edges with twelve OLi4Co2 octahedra. The corner-sharing octahedra tilt angles range from 0–9°. In the third O2- site, O2- is bonded to three Li1+, one Mn7+, and two equivalent Co2+ atoms to form a mixture of edge and corner-sharing OLi3MnCo2 octahedra. The corner-sharing octahedra tilt angles range from 0–16°. In the fourth O2- site, O2- is bonded to five Li1+ and one Co2+ atom to form OLi5Co octahedra that share corners with six OLi3Mn2Co octahedra and edges with twelve OLi4Co2 octahedra. The corner-sharing octahedra tilt angles range from 0–9°.
