description: LiCu2C2O7 crystallizes in the triclinic P1 space group. The structure is three-dimensional. there are two inequivalent Li1+ sites. In the first Li1+ site, Li1+ is bonded to six O2- atoms to form LiO6 octahedra that share corners with six CuO4 tetrahedra. There are a spread of Li–O bond distances ranging from 2.16–2.25 Å. In the second Li1+ site, Li1+ is bonded to six O2- atoms to form LiO6 octahedra that share corners with six CuO4 tetrahedra. There are a spread of Li–O bond distances ranging from 2.15–2.24 Å. There are four inequivalent Cu+2.50+ sites. In the first Cu+2.50+ site, Cu+2.50+ is bonded to four O2- atoms to form CuO4 tetrahedra that share corners with three equivalent LiO6 octahedra and a cornercorner with one CuO4 tetrahedra. The corner-sharing octahedra tilt angles range from 67–69°. There are a spread of Cu–O bond distances ranging from 1.76–2.00 Å. In the second Cu+2.50+ site, Cu+2.50+ is bonded to four O2- atoms to form CuO4 tetrahedra that share corners with three equivalent LiO6 octahedra and a cornercorner with one CuO4 tetrahedra. The corner-sharing octahedra tilt angles range from 67–69°. There are a spread of Cu–O bond distances ranging from 1.76–2.00 Å. In the third Cu+2.50+ site, Cu+2.50+ is bonded to four O2- atoms to form CuO4 tetrahedra that share corners with three equivalent LiO6 octahedra and a cornercorner with one CuO4 tetrahedra.

In the first C4+ site, C4+ is bonded in a trigonal planar geometry to three O2- atoms. There is one shorter (1.29 Å) and two longer (1.30 Å) C–O bond length. In the second C4+ site, C4+ is bonded in a trigonal planar geometry to three O2- atoms. There is one shorter (1.29 Å) and two longer (1.30 Å) C–O bond length. In the third C4+ site, C4+ is bonded in a trigonal planar geometry to three O2- atoms. All C–O bond lengths are 1.30 Å. In the fourth C4+ site, C4+ is bonded in a trigonal planar geometry to three O2- atoms. There is one shorter (1.29 Å) and two longer (1.30 Å) C–O bond length. There are fourteen inequivalent O2- sites. In the first O2- site, O2- is bonded in a trigonal planar geometry to one Li1+, one Cu+2.50+, and one C4+ atom. In the second O2- site, O2- is bonded in a trigonal planar geometry to one Li1+, one Cu+2.50+, and one C4+ atom.
