description: Li7Mn4CoO12 crystallizes in the triclinic P-1 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 a cornercorner with one LiO6 octahedra, corners with two equivalent CoO6 octahedra, corners with three MnO6 octahedra, edges with five MnO6 octahedra, and edges with seven LiO6 octahedra. The corner-sharing octahedra tilt angles range from 3–17°. There are a spread of Li–O bond distances ranging from 2.06–2.32 Å. In the second Li1+ site, Li1+ is bonded to six O2- atoms to form distorted LiO6 octahedra that share corners with six MnO6 octahedra, edges with two MnO6 octahedra, edges with two equivalent CoO6 octahedra, and edges with eight LiO6 octahedra. The corner-sharing octahedra tilt angles range from 5–12°. There are a spread of Li–O bond distances ranging from 2.07–2.62 Å. In the third Li1+ site, Li1+ is bonded to six O2- atoms to form LiO6 octahedra that share a cornercorner with one CoO6 octahedra, corners with two equivalent LiO6 octahedra, corners with three MnO6 octahedra, an edgeedge with one CoO6 octahedra, edges with five MnO6 octahedra, and edges with six LiO6 octahedra. The corner-sharing octahedra tilt angles range from 6–18°. There are a spread of Li–O bond distances ranging from 2.01–2.38 Å. 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 two equivalent CoO6 octahedra, edges with four MnO6 octahedra, and edges with six LiO6 octahedra. The corner-sharing octahedra tilt angles range from 7–18°. There are four shorter (2.05 Å) and two longer (2.28 Å) Li–O bond lengths. There are two inequivalent Mn+3.25+ sites. In the first Mn+3.25+ site, Mn+3.25+ is bonded to six O2- atoms to form MnO6 octahedra that share corners with six LiO6 octahedra, an edgeedge with one CoO6 octahedra, edges with four MnO6 octahedra, and edges with seven LiO6 octahedra. The corner-sharing octahedra tilt angles range from 7–12°. There are a spread of Mn–O bond distances ranging from 1.94–2.34 Å. In the second Mn+3.25+ site, Mn+3.25+ is bonded to six O2- atoms to form MnO6 octahedra that share corners with six LiO6 octahedra, an edgeedge with one CoO6 octahedra, edges with four MnO6 octahedra, and edges with seven LiO6 octahedra. The corner-sharing octahedra tilt angles range from 5–11°. There are a spread of Mn–O bond distances ranging from 1.91–2.04 Å. Co4+ is bonded to six O2- atoms to form CoO6 octahedra that share corners with six LiO6 octahedra, edges with four MnO6 octahedra, and edges with eight LiO6 octahedra. The corner-sharing octahedra tilt angles range from 3–17°. There are a spread of Co–O bond distances ranging from 1.88–2.27 Å. There are six inequivalent O2- sites. In the first O2- site, O2- is bonded to three Li1+ and three Mn+3.25+ atoms to form OLi3Mn3 octahedra that share corners with four OLi4MnCo octahedra and edges with eleven OLi3Mn3 octahedra. The corner-sharing octahedra tilt angles range from 1–6°. In the second O2- site, O2- is bonded in a 6-coordinate geometry to four Li1+, one Mn+3.25+, and one Co4+ atom. In the third O2- site, O2- is bonded to three Li1+, two Mn+3.25+, and one Co4+ atom to form OLi3Mn2Co octahedra that share corners with six OLi4Mn2 octahedra and edges with nine OLi3Mn3 octahedra. The corner-sharing octahedra tilt angles range from 0–8°. In the fourth O2- site, O2- is bonded to three Li1+ and three Mn+3.25+ atoms to form OLi3Mn3 octahedra that share corners with five OLi4MnCo octahedra and edges with ten OLi3Mn3 octahedra.
