There are two shorter (1.99 Å) and two longer (2.02 Å) Li–O bond lengths. In the second Li1+ site, Li1+ is bonded to four O2- atoms to form LiO4 tetrahedra that share corners with two equivalent LiO4 tetrahedra, corners with two MnO5 trigonal bipyramids, and corners with four FeO5 trigonal bipyramids. There are a spread of Li–O bond distances ranging from 1.97–2.03 Å. In the third Li1+ site, Li1+ is bonded to four O2- atoms to form LiO4 tetrahedra that share corners with two equivalent LiO4 tetrahedra, corners with two MnO5 trigonal bipyramids, and corners with four FeO5 trigonal bipyramids.
